Description: Did you know that by simply adding a preposition, you can transform normal verbs into phrasal verbs? Prepositions tell us the where, how, and why in a sentence. In this lesson, we will focus on the prepositions “off”, “on”, “over”, and “up” to form our phrasal verbs. Native English speakers like to use phrasal verbs because they contain the same amount of information as a long phrase does but in a small recognizable word pattern. For example, we can replace the phrase “research information online about something” with “look up”. You can also replace “contact someone to give them information” with “follow up”. So much more simple, right? Watch the lesson to find out what other phrasal verbs you can form with these prepositions. They will be useful to you in business and in everyday life.
