Good poll!

I was very pleased to stumble upon your site, and especially to find these polls. Last year I had a go at creating a database of phrasal verbs for use by some of my ESL friends. I found the task to be a bit too daunting and gave up on it. You might just have given me the nudge I needed to have another go at it.

I have what little I was able to accomplish in an Excel file - some 430 entries. Could you offer any ideas on how to expand the list? I thought to try to compile a list of all verbs and then go through them one by one comparing them to my list of prepositons (I think I have about fifteen used in phrasals).

I looked for some compilations on line, but could not find any. And, while books are nice, I do not want to have to transcribe one just to get my list. The ultimate goal is a searchable database to help writers in real time.
