Remember that a phrasal verb is the combination of a verb and at least one preposition or adverb which has a different meaning to the individual parts separately.
Let’s learn some useful phrasal verbs which you will hear on a regular basis in English:
to eat out: to eat away from home, usually in a restaurant.
Example: I don’t feel like cooking tonight. Let’s eat out.
to give up: to stop trying to do something because it seems too difficult to you
Example: I will never be able to memorize such a long speech. I give up!
to hang on: to wait for a short time (used a lot on the phone)
Example: The operator asked me to hang on while she transferred my call.
to hang up: to end a phone call
Example: She’s been waiting for a long time, she wants to hang up.
to pay off: to have a successful result after a long period of time.
Example: All that studying paid off! What amazing exam results!
to look out: to to be careful, to take care
Example: Look out! That car’s approaching really fast!
