Presentation.

Phrasal verbs consist of a verb and another word or phrase, usually a preposition. They often arise from casual uses of the language and eventually work themselves into the mainstream of language use. Phrasal verbs can be both intransitive and transitive in meaning. The word that is joined with a verb in this construction (often a preposition) is called a particle.

The problem with phrasal verbs is that their meaning is often, at first, obscure, and they often mean several different things. To make out, for instance, can mean to perceive or to see something; it can also mean to engage in light sexual play. If someone chooses to turn up the street that is a combination of a verb and a preposition, but it is not a phrasal verb. On the other hand, if your neighbors unexpectedly turn up (appear) at a party or your brother turns up his radio, those are phrasal verbs. To come out, we are told, has eighteen different meanings.
