A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and a preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a verb with both an adverb and a preposition, any of which are part of the syntax of the sentence, and so are a complete semantic unit. Sentences may contain direct and indirect objects in addition to the phrasal verb.^[1] Phrasal verbs are particularly frequent in the English language. A phrasal verb often has a meaning which is different from the original verb. (source: wikipedia.com)
