    Phrasal Verbs
    Introduction
     A phrasal verb = a verb + a particle

    For example: put off

    Put = verb off = particle

    I put off my trip. = I postponed my trip.

     The verb and the particle have a special


    meaning.
    When you use the same verb with
    a different particle, the meaning
    changes.

    put + off = to postpone


    put + on = to cover your body with clothes
    put + back = to return something to its original place
    put + away = to put something in its original place
    Some phrasal verbs have more
    than one meaning.
    keep on = to continue
    keep on = not to remove something
    take off = remove
    take off = leave
    They are very common,
    especially in informal
    English.
