Useful Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs
Ebook
Overview
Phrasal verbs are important in English but they are also quite difficult for students to learn. Learners of English need to be able both to recognize them in reading and listening, as well as to be able to use them in writing and speaking. This dictionary considers phrasal verbs in which the meanings of the separate parts tell us little or nothing about the meaning of the whole, for example, ‘pick up’ as in, ‘Business is picking up’. This dictionary has been written to help the learner with this type of idiomatic combination. It includes over 2,500 verbs, each with a definition and example.
