What is a phrasal verb?
The first problem is that there is no consensus over what exactly a phrasal verb is. Believe it or not. Some linguists make a definition between verb+preposition and between “true” phrasal verbs which are verbs with “particles”. It’s NOT IMPORTANT to know if if it an adverb, a preposition etc. I don’t want to enter this argument and I don’t have any opinion on the matter, but I am going to create a clear definition of phrasal verbs for this class:
A verb which contains more than 1 word
Can be replaced with a single verb (has one meaning)
The problem with phrasal verbs is that it is impossible to deduct their meaning by looking at their constituent parts. This makes them one of the most daunting parts of English for new learners. Today I am going to try to make phrasal verbs easy for you.

[@mspococurante]

I am an English teacher who looooves teaching phrasal verbs, I even made a podcast all about them. But I learned so much about them from you! Like right now, I'm just here refreshing my phrasal verb basics with you, because you really do it best!

[@time_to_listen_]

Hey where can I find your episodes?

[@grazyellelucena3281]

I’m in love with the way you explain things ! Really great job!

[@Canguroenglish]

Thanks Grazyelle, that's very kind!

[@nenemtiaof5016]

@@Canguroenglish Good afternoom, sir. Why "between linguist" instead among ? Thank you.

[@brendaivelisse1706]

As far as I know, you use BETWEEN when you are referring or comparing two things. Of the other side, the use AMONG is when you are referring or comparing three things or more. If you want to be sure, you can double check with English Grammar Rules.

Excellent ! Excellent ! Excellent !

[@davidwright5289]

I interpret the 'up' in the phrasals: eat up, break up, get up, look up, etc., as giving a sense of fully completing an action or process. Anyone else see this?

[@nikovald]

[@Ricardo-xg6gx]

Great job. I Know that you rarely answer the questions in the comments but it would be very appreciated if you could say me somewhere to practice my speaking without paying, thanks in advance.

[@etouguiname4100]

Ohh your student are very lucky to get you😭😭😢😢. I have not this opportunity in Paris, I study alone 😊😊😊

[@dmanakell]

Thank you so much. It's good to know that there's some kind of order to the nonsensical phrasal verbs. For spanish speakers, phrasal verbs are difficult to grasp. I've tried so hard, and the only phrasal-verb-like expression I could find was "venir abajo" as in "el edificio de vino abajo (se derrumbó)" I remember one of the first times i heard some phrasal verbs was the verb "print out". I had to hand in a paper but had it in a flashdrive. My teacher told me that I had to print it out. I immediately walked out of the classroom trying to find some printers right outside. I found none. By the way, is there any rule of thumb that gives you a broad idea of what the prepositions could mean? Some kind of educated guess? For example, I've heard people using UP as in getting or acquiring something: suit up or partner up. However, I don't know if we could generalize for most prepositions.

[@romidisco6880]

Son los más usados en Australia o en general?

[@gersonluissantos6926]

[@hoseinkeshavarz9204]

+Canguro English thank you for correcting my mistake

[@Canguroenglish]

+Hosein Keshavarz Not a mistake. It's just that "good tidings" is old-fashioned and not really used anymore.

[@user-wn9my7rn6q]

Thanks teacher. I have a question. Are phrasal verbs what we call them idioms or different?!! An answer please.

[@michalbaudouin4093]
