Study the information about phrasal verbs.
 
We often combine verbs with prepositions and adverb particles to form phrasal verbs.

These verbs can have idiomatic or non-idiomatic meanings and we use them a lot.

Remember the terms:

- Transitive (followed by a noun or pronoun object)

- Intransitive (=not followed by a noun or pronoun object)

Type 1. Verb + preposition (transitive)
