*Phrasal Verbs-
the heart of English
Phrasal verbs
are two or three-word verbs usually consisting of a verb plus a preposition (or
two).
verb +
preposition – one unit, one thing, one new idea
e.g. “talk to”
talk to – He talked
to his sister on the phone last Tuesday.
Phrasal verbs
are the heart of English. The more you know phrasal verbs, the more natural your
spoken and written English will sound.
Adding a preposition
to a verb can completely change the meaning of the verb.
-talk
to- more like a monologue
-talk
with - more like a conversation, back
and forth, dialogue
-talk
about
He
talked about her behind her back. not to her face, gossip
-talk
over He talked over his wife while she
was explaining what happened.
-talk
under – whispering, talking very quietly while someone else is
talking
While
the teacher was talking, a few students were talking under him about the
lesson.
-talk over
For example,
“speak to” ‘speak with’ and “speak for” have very different meanings.
-speak for-
“Don’t speak
for me. I can speak for myself.”
“She will have
to speak for herself.”
I
spoke to/with my colleague about the project.
I
spoke for my son at the doctor’s office.
So too do “look
up”, “look up to” and “look down on”.
The meanings of phrasal verbs are idiomatic, which means their meaning
is in the culture not in the dictionary.
“look up to”
respect She really looks up to her grandmother.
“Don’t look
down on me about my English.”
“Don’t
look down on anyone because they have an accent. That means they know at least
two languages. How about you?”
Examples
with one verb: look (v)
-look
+ prep
-look
at
-look
for
-look
after
-look
up
-look
up to – respect somebody, admire Scott
really looks up to his math teacher, Ms Chen.
-look
down on – think poorly of someone, do not respect them My mother usually looked down on my friends.
-look
forward to – anticipate, waiting with a good feeling, being filled with
expectation (positive) I look forward
to seeing you.
She
is not looking forward to the math test.
-
common verb “talk”
-talk
to
-talk
with
-talk
over She always talks over me. I don’t
like being interrupted all the time. It is disrespectful.
Sorry
for talking over you.
-talk
for/speak for
-talk
about- discuss, gossip,
tattle(v)-
cannot keep a secret
tattletale(a
person who rats you out), a bigmouth
IDIOM
rat you out- tells on you
He
is a motormouth.
-talk out – discuss something fully,
especially to resolve a conflict between two people The husband and wife had to sit down and
talk out their differences.
phrasal verb – verb + preposition

One
way to approach these would be to look at an overview of them. See how many you
know already.
Make
a plan to learn a certain number a day/week.
Pick
one or two day to learn and try. You have to use them to remember them.
It’s
all about building vocabulary. It’s painful and slow. However, you will make
progress.
You
have to have some courage to talk to people. You have to have some guts.
IDIOM guts- bravery, courage
Try
to squeeze the phrasal verbs into your conversation.
