Phrasal verbs are a combination of a verb and a particle or two. The particles are either prepositions or adverbs. There are loads of phrasal verbs in English, but don’t worry! You don’t need to learn them all at once. Instead, you can learn them here, six at a time. Also, phrasal verbs change in the exact same way as normal verbs, so there isn’t any extra grammar that you need to know.
Let’s look at an example:
Instead of saying you admire your grandmother, you can say that you look up to her.
I look up to my grandmother.
Daniela looks up to her grandmother.
We looked up to our grandmother when we were children.
