For those out there who aren’t language and/or grammar nerds, a phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and a preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a verb with both an adverb and a preposition, any of which are part of the syntax of the sentence, and so are a complete semantic unit. A phrasal verb often has a meaning which is different from the original verb. In non grammar nerd terms that means a phrase — typically idiomatic — that uses a verb and another part of speech that combines to change the meaning of the verb. A few examples are: using “to get together” instead of “to congregate”, “to put off” rather than “to postpone”, or “to get out” rather than “to exit”. General phrasal verbs are things like “He walked across the square,” “She opened the shutters and looked outside,” or “When he heard the crash, he looked up.”
Other terms for phrasal verb are ‘compound verb’, ‘verb-adverb combination’ or ‘verb-particle construction.’
