One of the most common questions I receive from English learners is “Why are phrasal verbs like ‘sit down’ necessary?” The answer is that they are an accepted part of English, especially in speaking. Yes, it might sound redundant to say “sit down,” “stand up,” “fall down,” and “continue on” instead of simply saying “sit,” “stand,” “fall,” and “continue,” but phrasal verbs like these add emphasis and intensity to English communication. In this lesson, you will learn about 20 phrasal verbs which generally carry the same meaning as their verb. This makes them easier to learn because you do not have to memorize a separate, idiomatic meaning. The phrasal verbs in this lesson include: call up, clean up, continue on, fall down, fill up, freeze up, help out, hide away, hurry up, lend out, lift up, mix up, pack up, return back to, send out, shake up, sit down, stand up, wait up, and wrap up. Make sure to do the quiz to test your understanding of everything after you have watched the lesson, and continue practicing by writing your own examples in the comments. You can do it!
