I Dream of Words - English - Advanced 2.1

This time on I Dream of Words, we’re talking about English verbs, in particular what are often called “phrasal verbs”.

I have always had a serious problem with that name because it makes the whole thing far more complicated than it needs to be by emphasizing the fact that it is a phrase, as if it’s a complete thing that can’t be broken up into parts. So we’re going to skip the silly version and just call them “verb groups” because that’s a far better name for what they are and how they work.
