About this document
Understanding Phrasal Verbs: Basics by José Boy Castilla is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses phrasal verbs, which are verbs composed of multiple words, usually a main verb and a particle or preposition. Phrasal verbs can have different meanings than the individual words alone. There are over 5,000 phrasal verbs in English, with 25 making up 30% of those commonly used by native speakers and 100 making up 50% of common usage. While phrasal verbs are accepted in spoken English, they are often considered too informal for academic writing due to their multiple possible meanings.
