A phrasal verb is a verb plus a particle or preposition that together mean something new: give up means to quit, look after means to take care of, take off means to remove clothes or to leave the ground. There are thousands of them, so a few short sets you can learn and review on a schedule work better than one long list. This page gathers every card set on the topic, and each series page has a table of its words with translations.
