Phrasal Verbs - Learn about Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs are formed by a verb and a particle (often a preposition or adverb):
a) We got up at 6am.
b) I woke up before him.

The meaning of some phrasal verbs is clear from the verb:
a) I paid off all my debts.
b) They went away for the weekend.

But other times, it isn’t so obvious:
a) She made up the story.   [make up = invent]
b) They put off the meeting.  [put off = delay]
