These verbs are the source of confusion for thousands of students.
PHRASAL VERBS: verbs that consist of a verb and a preposition forming a new verb with a different meaning. Take a look at the examples below:
.
FIND: Julia found a dog on the street.
FIND OUT: Julia is desolated. She found out she can't have babies.
PUT: We have to put gas in the car. Where is the nearest gas station?
PUT OFF: We'll have to put off the meeting because two of the directors are away on business.
MAKE: He made a terrible mistake.
MAKE UP: He's never been to europe. He made it up just to seem like an important person.
The only way to get better is through practice, isn't it???
