Explanation

Phrasal verbs combine a verb with a preposition or adverb, creating new meanings. “Look up” can mean search for (look up a word) or improve (things are looking up).

Types: separable (can put object between: turn off the light / turn the light off), inseparable (object must follow: look after the baby, not look the baby after).

Common phrasal verbs: break down (fail), bring up (raise), carry out (perform), give up (quit), put off (postpone), turn down (reject). Context determines meaning.
