PHRASAL VERBS - 1

PHRASAL VERBS : are formed by a verb followed by one or more prepositions. The meaning of the phrasal verb can only be determined by the verb and preposition as a unit, not by combining the meanings of the verb and the preposition alone. For example, the meaning of the phrasal verb wake up "awake" cannot be determined by combining the meaning of the verb wake "rise from sleep" and the meaning of the preposition up "at a higher point." Phrasal verbs often have single-word synonyms as in wake up and awake.
