Crosswords for English Learners: Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs
Phrasal verbs are verbs that are used in common with other parts of speech, usually prepositions, and take on meanings of their own when combined with these other parts of speech.
Phrasal verbs are very useful and plentiful, and hence provide endless teaching materials for ESL teachers.
Some examples include:
- to go out = to date
- to bring up = to raise
- to take after = to act like
- to find out = to learn, to discover
- to put off = to postpone
To see the difference that simple preposition can make in meaning:
- take up = do a hobby
- take off = undress
- take in = adopt
- take away = revoke
- take over = conquer
The importance of phrasal verbs to ESL teaching and learning cannot be overstated. Although phrasal verbs are written as a combination of two or more words, they act as if they were one word.
Phrasal verbs can be inseparable, separable, transitive, and intransitive.
