Phrasal verbs (sometimes called multi-word verbs) are verbs that consist of two or sometimes there words. The first word is a verb and it is followed by an adverb (turn down) or a preposition (eat into) or both (put up with). These adverb and prepositions are sometimes called PARTICLES.
The combinations of these adverb or prepositions with a verb create a meaning different from the original verb alone.
Ex:- To Get =to obtain
▪I need to get a new battery for my camera.
▪To get together=to meet
▪ why don't we all get together for lunch one day?
Phrasal verbs are an important part of the English language. However, they are mainly used in Spoken English and informal texts. They should be avoided in academic writing where it is preferable to use a formal verb such as "to postpone" rather than "to put of".
The meaning of a Phrasal Verb can sometimes be explained with a one word verb, it is more formal in style.
▪I wish my ears didn't strick out so much.
▪The garage project 5 meters beyond the front of the house.
