What are phrasal verbs in English?
Concord -
Phrasal verbs are compound verbs consisting of a verb, like come or take, and a particle (i.e. an adverb or a preposition), like off or up. They are a common and important part of English, especially in speaking and in informal writing. Often they have an
equivalent formal word, for example, make up (informal phrasal verb), and invent (formal equivalent). New phrasal verbs are being created all the time, particularly by young people.
