You can get that information by clicking on a verb:

There's more information lurking behind the front page, but with so many verbs, we cannot display everything. ;-)

By definition phrasal verbs are used more in informal texts and speech. However, in a less formal world, more and more are being used in business exchanges and in various media. The only real way to learn more and more phrasal verbs is to listen to more and more English. Many listening texts are available through websites such as the BBC language department (also included would be the applicable scripts). Also, start watching English language films (use subtitles) and collect songs (find the lyrics with Google). With songs and films, not only are they an extremely enjoyable way to learn, but, the language items used are MEMORABLE.

Phrasal verbs can be learned very positively through the context of the medium.

Hi
Would you recommend me any workbooks focusing on phrasal verbs (or websites) - i mean exercises, exercises and of course exercises. The problem is that any dictionary cannot replace the practicing of verbs. And the disadvantage of movies is that you have to lose to much time to catch any phrasal verb. From my point of view it's better to learn phrasal verbs by exercising them and later only to try to find/re-learn them by watching tv or so.
So, recommendations pl:shock:ease. (in my case upper intermediate level);
PS
same refers to idioms as well
PS
is any serious difference between get round to and get down to?

is there any place where I can find a complete list of Phrasal verbs?

 

[sarnicki]

I don't think there is possible to create a 'complete list of phrasal verbs' - they create very informal, forever changing language.

Answering my question: I found as far 'Phrasal Verb Organiser' practice book by John Flower - there are over 700 verbs with 1000 meanings. If anyone knows any other titles, please, let me know.

Hi, I'm new here.
There is in the site how know the pharasal verbs separable and inseparable or detai of what are separable or inseparable?
thanks

Claudia

 

[Tdol]

If a verb is inseparable, you cannot put a word like the object between the verb and the particle (preposition, etc). For example, you can come into money, meaning inherit. It is inseparable, so you cannot [strike]come money into[/strike]. Some verbs have an option- you can turn off the light, or turn the light off. With these verbs that have the option, we separate when we use a pronoun and always say turn it off, not [strike]turn off it[/strike].

 

[LauraMijas]

Hello , I´d like to know if there exists a phrasal verbs dictionary in which I "type" a phrase and instead of a definition I get a phrasal verb; for example I type "seek/search for" and I get "to look for".
Not an online dictionary, but I mean a "physical" dictionary.
Thank you very much.

Welcome to the Forum, Laura :hi:

If you want to type, you need an online dictionary. If you want a "physical" dictionary, I'm afraid there's seldom a chance you can type anything there.

As far as I know, online dictionaries only let you type the main verb. Then you have to (usually) scroll down to find the phrasal verb you're looking for (I have not checked ALL dictionaries, to be sure, and I don't know if Longman has an online equivalent of their Longman Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs (or any other such book from any other editing house or university, for that matter).
