Phrasal verbs

I can recognize and use some common phrasal verbs.

A phrasal verb has two parts - a verb and an adverb.
Some of these adverbs look the same as prepositions.
Phrasal verbs are usually more informal than a one-
word verb. The most common adverbs in phrasal verbs
are up,down, out, on and off.
The phrasal verb often has a completely different
meaning from the verb by itself.
turn = change direction; turn up = make louder
Canyou turn the music up?I can'thear it.
give = pass to another person;give up = stop trying
The puzzlewas very difficultso hesoon gave up.
put=place something;put out= extinguish
Didyou put the candles out or are theystillburning?

Sometimes the adverb doesn't change the meaning
of the phrasal verb much.
I mustgive thisjacket back to Edward. fwhat's on?
Canyou turn round,please?
<ÉÉÍ"They're tatelt-vg all the furniture awau.
I needto putthis suitcase down.

When a phrasal verb has an object, it can go before Somephrasalvevtedorft hmanobject.
or after the adverb.
What time didyou get up? (= get out of bed)
Switch the light on/Switch on the light.
Theplanetook off. (= started flying)
Takeyour shoes off./Take offyour shoes.
Some phrasal verbs have more than one meaning.
However,when we use a pronoun it always goes
We needto get on the train now. (=enter)
BEFORE the adverb.
Switchiton. Switchon it, HenryandIget on well but hisbrother andIdon't
geton atall. (=have a good/bad relationship with
