Phrasal verbs

Phrasal verbs are idiomatic expressions that are formed by combining verbs with prepositions or adverbs. This results in new phrasal verbs with a very different meaning than it gives us the dictionary for individual verbs.

Examples:

- Verb + preposition: Turn on (encender)

- Verb + adverb: Pass away (fallecer, morir)

- Verb + adverb + preposition: Look forward to
