Express English Lesson 2

29/5/2013

Hello! Today I would like to introduce PHRASAL VERBS.

What is a phrasal verb?

It's the combination of a verb + a particle (preposition or adverb) resulting in a new word.
BE CAREFUL: The new meaning of the word combination is different from the two separate words.

Phrasal verbs are very common in spoken and written English so we need them to understand and speak natural English.

Verb
ask someone out
Meaning
invite on a date
Example
Nicholas asked Jane out to dinner.
