As you probably know a phrasal verb is a verb plus the proposition that is used like an idiom. For example, I can say, turn on the light. When you turn on the light, actually nothing is turning, and nothing is on, so the meaning of turn on is an idiomatic meaning. That’s a phrasal verb. Well most phrasal verbs are made of two words one verb and one preposition. However, there are some phrasal verbs that are made with two prepositions. For today’s English lesson let’s take a look at some of these three word phrasal verbs.
Here are the example sentences. To get the details of this English lesson, you need to listen to the podcast or check the transcript for the details:
