Theorie:

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 following terms:

- Transitive (followed by a noun or pronoun)

- Intransitive (not followed by a noun or pronoun)
 

Type 1. Verb + preposition (transitive)

Listen to music! It’s beautiful.

Type 3. Verb + particle (intransitive)

Hurry up! Sit down.
