This lesson will teach you what are phrasal adverbs and phrasal verbs. The phrasal adverbs along with the verbs are very important in English but in order to understand what they are, let's start with the definitions. What is a verb? A verb is a word used to describe an occurence or state and forms the predicate of a sentence (e.g. look, become, understand). If you don't know what is an adverb, it is a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of a verb, adverb or adjective, expressing place, degree, time or manner (e.g. there, then, very). Another important thing you should know is what is a preposition. A preposition is a word preceding and governing a pronoun or noun and expressing a relation to an element or word of the clause as in "the girl under the bed".

Prepositional verbs

Words that are sometimes prepositions can act as adverbs. Prepositional verbs don’t change their meaning as much when you add that preposition, and they’re much more rigid when it comes to word order. What is the difference between an adverb and preposition and why this distinction is important? An object can go before or after an adverb – but it can only go after a preposition. So phrasal verbs can be separated while prepositional verbs must not be separated. What do phrasal and prepositional verbs have in common and what are the differences? A phrasal verb is made up of a verb + adverb or verb + adverb + preposition. Here are some examples of phrasal verbs:

1. put off
2. carry on
3. turn down
4. give up
5. break down

Also, when using a phrasal verb, the object (noun) can either be between the verb and adverb or after the adverb. A prepositional verb is made up of a verb + preposition. The verb must sit directly in front of the preposition and the object (noun or pronoun) must sit directly after the preposition.

Phrasal adverbs

So what is a phrasal adverb? It is a group of 2 or more words that acts like an adverb without having the elements that are normally considered adverbs. An example of a phrasal adverb is "sort of". Phrasal adverbs are oftenly used by the natives. Learning the phrasal adverbs and phrasal verbs is very important.
