Common Phrasal Verbs used in Uncommon Ways: English One Live March 31, 2020
English is hard. The grammar, the spelling, the pronunciation… it all takes a lot of time and practice in order to understand. But, by far, the hardest part of English is the vocabulary, especially Phrasal Verbs. Those horrible multi-part words that combine a verb with a preposition (also extremely hard to understand) which native speakers use all the time. If you struggle to understand phrasal verbs, you are not alone. Even native speakers would have a hard time explaining what they mean. While they may not be your favorite words to learn, they are extremely important because we use them in almost every sentence.
