Os phrasal verbs são uma característica fundamental da língua inglesa, frequentemente utilizados tanto na fala quanto na escrita. Consistem na combinação de um verbo com uma preposição ou advérbio, ou ambos, formando assim uma expressão com um significado diferente do verbo original. A compreensão e o uso correto dos phrasal verbs são essenciais para parecer natural no idioma e para evitar mal-entendidos.
