Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with one or two particles (prepositions or adverbs) that change the verb’s meaning entirely. These are common in informal English.

• Examples: give up, take off, look after, run out of
• In Sentences:
  • She gave up smoking last year. (gave up = quit)
  • The plane took off on time. (took off = left the ground)
  • Can you look after my dog while I’m away? (look after = care for)
