Great source!

The book is very useful. It has 12,000 phrasal verbs and different combinations, very useful and up-to-date, with simple examples which help to remember the verb very easily. I just love the book and take it everywhere with me. Hihly recommend it to everyone who is like me, always confused with phrasal verbs!

Good dictionary on these constructions

I'm not sure this is the exact same edition of this book, as the one I was looking at doesn't have the CD, and it includes 12,000 different English verbal phrases. But I couldn't find any other edition on Amazon, so I assume this is it, but I mention that just in case.

English has so many of these because of the decline of prefixes, which started somewhere between Old and Middle English, as Risto Hiltunen documented in his book, "The Decline of the Prefixes and the Beginnings of the English Phrasal Verb," which resulted in the development of separate pronouns and eventually verbal phrases. These are phrases such as "Come up on, run away from, brush up on, run out of," etc. This book documents and defines, as I said, 12,000, and is a very thick book as a result. I don't know how many of these there actually are in English, but 12,000 seems like a lot, so if you need a resource like this, I suspect it will probably have what you want.

only windows 98 version is available.

it is good CD but but not that PRO. Search for another CD which is more complicated and more effective!
