Why is it important to use phrasal
verbs?
Used like normal verbs, you can easily
replace a long list of words with a simple
phrasal verb. This makes the
conversation in English more natural and
fluid, changing the language and making
it more friendly and easy to understand.
Phrasal verbs = verb +
particle.
The particle looks like a
preposition, but it doesn't
function as a preposition.
