My take:

What you call a multi-word verb (phrasal verb) is simply a verb of more than one word. Nothing more and nothing less. No big deal.​

1. Don't know.
2. Collocation is a relationship between words. Certain words tend to match well with each other and go together often.
3. Don't know.


What I do know:

This is not a chat room.​

RonBee, I can guess that "My take" = "Below is my understanding"

so i can say "This is my take" when I wanna express "This is my understanding", right?

You are right, codenamecharlie.
