Phrasal verbs, or multi-word verbs, are verbs that are combined with one or two particles (a preposition or adverb), for example, 'up' or 'down', to make verbs with new meanings. These new meanings are usually non-literal. For example, to pick means to select or choose (she picked him for her team) but to pick someone or something up means to lift someone or something using your hands (Dr Laver told Molly to pick up one of the babies).
