		Phrasal verbs are used across all types of text, even where the writer or speaker has the option of choosing a single-word alternative.
		Learners should appreciate that it is possible to use phrasal verbs in formal contexts, and that they limit themselves unnaturally by accepting the idea that they should use phrasal verbs in informal chat, for example, but not in academic writing or in a presentation to business colleagues.
		Most of the verbs included in the Macmillan Phrasal Verbs Plus dictionary (apart from those that are marked as informal, very informal, impolite, or offensive) can be found in all types of text, and their use in English is widespread and prevalent.

		Phrasal verbs are used all the time in spoken and written English so we need them to understand and speak natural English.
		A phrasal verb is usually either a verb + a preposition (in which case the meaning of the verb usually stays the same) or a verb + an adverb (in which case the verb and adverb often combine to make a new verb with a different meaning than the original verb).
		With an adverbial verb, the complement can come either before or after the adverb, unless it is a pronoun, in which case it has to come after the verb: "Turn off the radio" or "Turn the radio off", but "Turn it off", not "Turn off it".

		Phrasal verbs are compound verbs (more than one word) that result from combining a verb with an adverb or a preposition.
		For instance, “take back” is a phrasal verb consisting of the verb “take” and the adverb “back.” As a phrasal verb, its meaning becomes “to retract a statement,” (I take back my comment on the discussion.), which cannot be derived solely by combining the dictionary meanings of the original verb and adverb.
		The difficulty in learning phrasal verbs is two-fold, the unpredictability of their idiomatic meaning and the rules describing how they may be entered into the rest of the sentence.

	The History of Phrasal Verbs
		Phrasal verbs are still currently productive, and there has been the rise of a more complex form, the three-part phrasal-prepositional verb, which includes a verb, a post-positioned particle, and a complementary prepositional phrase.
		Her claim that phrasal senses of verbs are often not cited in the OED still proves true in some cases, such as “to build up” meaning “to advertise or promote”.
		Passivization: Transitive phrasal verbs can be rendered in the passive for two reasons: because they are transitive and have the capacity for the inversion of logical subjects and objects, and because doing so does not violate the syntactic frame of a prepositional phrase.

	Verbs and Verbals
		Verbs that are intransitive do not require objects: "The building collapsed." In English, you cannot tell the difference between a transitive and intransitive verb by its form; you have to see how the verb is functioning within the sentence.
		Phrasal verbs often arise from casual uses of the language and eventually work themselves into the mainstream of language use.
		These verb tenses don't have to be identical as long as they reflect, logically, shifts in time and meaning: "My brother had graduated before I started college." "My brother will have graduated before I start." Click HERE for a chart describing various time relationships and how those relationships determine the appropriate sequence of verb tenses.

	Grammar Detective 4: Working with phrasal verbs
		Phrasal verbs or two word verbs are difficult for people learning English yet native speakers think they are "easy English." First of all, the parts of the word, the verb and the particle, don't always stay together in the sentence.
		In this case knowing the meaning of the verb and the particle does not tell you the meaning of the two together.
