Phrasal verbs
Definition
A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb + a particle (usually a preposition or an adverb). Together, they form a new meaning that is often different from the literal meaning of the individual words.
Examples
to look up – to search for information
to turn down – to reject or to reduce the volume
to get over – to recover from something
> The particle completely changes the meaning of the verb.
Phrasal verbs
1) Separable phrasal verbs
These take an object (voorwerp), and the particle can be separated from the verb.
I’ll pick up the kids. = I’ll pick the kids up.
If the object is a pronoun (voornaamwoord), it must go between the verb and the particle:
I’ll pick them up.
I’llpick up them.
2) Inseparable phrasal verbs
The verb and the particle stay together, even with an object.
She’s looking after her little brother. (not looking her little brother after)
Phrasal verbs
P-stranding (cf. Accuracy I)
In English, it’s perfectly acceptable to leave a preposition at the end of a clause or sentence — something that isn’t allowed in many other languages. This is called preposition stranding.
With phrasal verbs, this often happens naturally, since the preposition or adverb is part of the verb phrase.
Who are you talking to? (rather than the more formal To whom are you talking?)
That’s the problem I was dealing with(rather than with which I was dealing – formal and old-fashioned)
In modern English, especially spoken or informal English, preposition stranding is completely normal and natural.
Phrasal verbs
Meaning
Some phrasal verbs have both literal and figurative meanings:
She took off her jacket. (literal)
Her career really took off after that film. (figurative)
Understanding which meaning applies depends on context, which is what makes phrasal verbs so rich — and sometimes tricky — for learners.
Use
Phrasal verbs are normally used in conversation but more formal verbs are used in written English.
