Study the information about phrasal verbs.
We often combine verbs with prepositions and adverb particles to form phrasal verbs.
These verbs can have idiomatic or non-idiomatic meanings and we use them a lot.
Remember the terms:
- Transitive (followed by a noun or pronoun object)
- Intransitive (=not followed by a noun or pronoun object)
Type 1. Verb + preposition (transitive)
Listen to music! It’s beautiful.
