Phrasal verbs are multi-word verbs which consist of a verb and an adverb or a preposition. Phrasal verbs are very commonly used in spoken English. Phrasal verbs are usually two to three words long that combine to form a short phrase and this is why they are known as phrasal verbs.

It is important to know that a phrasal verb made up of a basic verb + a preposition/adverb is still a verb as a whole. For example the phrasal verb, ‘look up’ is a verb, but a different one. ‘Look up’ means to search or find information in a book. Since the phrasal verb describes an action they are considered action verbs also.
