 Phrasal Verbs Question Answer

Phrasal Verbs

The teacher came in. She is now in the classroom. 

In the second sentence, in is a preposition placed before the noun phrase the classroom. But in the first sentence, in is an adverbial particle. Many such words like in, on, out, up, down, over, etc. can function in a sentence either as prepositions or adverbial particles. In the following section we will consider verbs followed by either prepositions or adverbial particles. We call them phrasal verbs. 

Look at these sentences : 

1. Seema looked up the word in the dictionary.

 looked the word up

looked it up 

2. Please look me up when you visit here next time. 

3. We have good rain this year, the situation is looking up. 

These two-word verbs are called phrasal verbs. Sometimes we can have three-word phrasal verbs also: We look forward to your next visit. 

 Look at the sun diagram below and make ten phrasal verbs by combining the verb "look" with the other items.

Now make meaningful sentences, using the ten phrasal verbs.
