and improve our language skills. We will be using the popular song "Count on
Me" by Bruno Mars. So, let's get started!

Before we go any further, let's get to know about Phrasal Verbs first to
enhance our knowledge. So, Phrasal Verbs are special combinations of words

that consist of a verb and one or more particles, such as adverbs or
prepositions. When these words come together, they create a new meaning
that may be different from the original verb alone. Phrasal verbs are

commonly used in everyday English conversations, so understanding them will
help you become a more confident English speaker. To create a phrasal verb,
you need to combine a verb with an adverb or preposition.

1. Verb + Adverb:
Phrasal verbs formed with an adverb often describe an action or change

of state. The adverb adds extra meaning to the verb.
Example: "Wake up"
Explanation: When you combine the verb "wake" with the adverb "up," it

means to stop sleeping and become conscious.

2. Verb + Preposition:
Phrasal verbs formed with a preposition often show a specific direction or

location of an action.
Example: "Look after"
Explanation: When you combine the verb "look" with the preposition

"after," it means to take care of or be responsible for someone or
something.
