Today, we are going to talk about phrasal verbs.
You may remember that a phrasal verb is a verb plus one or two more words called “particles.” Particles can be prepositions or adverbs. There are several common particles in phrasal verbs, such as the word “off.” One example of a phrasal verb is “go off.”
Phrasal verbs usually have idiomatic meanings. In other words, the verb and particle together mean something different from what each individual word suggests.
The phrasal verb “go off,” for instance, is made of the verb “go” and the particle “off.” But “go off” can mean to make a sudden loud noise.
