Grammar

HELP BOX	Phrasal verbs
A phrasal verb is a verb followed by a particle (preposition or an adverb); the combination creates a meaning different from the original verb alone. Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called "multi-word” verbs. When you don’t know the meaning of an English word, look it up in a dictionary.		We use phrasal verbs in spoken English and informal texts rather than in academic writing. In some cases, the particle is placed after the verb. I will look after your iPad, when you are out. In other cases, the particle is placed after the object. He’s been looking it over for two hours.
