• Phrasal Verbs

• 
• A phrasal verb has a base verb and a particle. The particle is usually a preposition or an adverb.  

  
  

  throw (verb) + away (adverb) = throw away (phrasal verb)

  
  

  Phrasal verbs have two words or more words, but they function as ONE verb.
  

  
  

  Phrasal verbs have a different meaning than the base verb.
