| Multi-word verbs (verbs with prepositions and particles) Many English verbs can be followed by prepositions or adverb particles. These combinations are rather like multi-word verbs. They are often called ‘phrasal verbs’. Some phrasal verbs are idiomatic, i.e. the meaning of the verb and particle together is sometimes different from the separate literal meanings of the verb and the particle. e.g. You’d better look up this word in a dictionary. (a literal meaning = to look for information in a dictionary) e.g. Everyone looks up to Robert because he always makes time to help others. (idiomatic meaning = to admire or respect) e.g. I’m looking forward to summer vacation. (idiomatic meaning = to be thinking with pleasure about sth that is going to happen (because you expect to enjoy it) |
4. Match the highlighted phrasal verbs in the text with their meanings.
o to find out if sth is correct
o to become bigger or more important than sth else or to replace sth
o to create or develop sth
o to find out by reasoning or calculation
o to do sth from beginning to end, especially when it takes a lot of time or effort
o to return
o to examine sth
o to leave your house to go to a social event
o to manage to get sth
o to be finally in a particular place or situation
