What are Phrasal Verbs?
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with one or more short words — usually a preposition or an adverb — that changes the verb’s meaning.
We use phrasal verbs all the time in natural, spoken English.
✅ They make your English sound more natural.
✅ They are used in movies, music, and everyday conversation.
✅ They help you understand the culture behind the language.
