The following table is an alphabetical reference chart of the most commonly used
English phrasal verbs with following explanations. You should remember that native
speakers of English tend to use phrasal verbs in everyday conversation and generally
reserve one-word verbs (i.e. "investigate" instead of "look into") for more formal
occasions such as business letters etc.
Please note that all phrasal verbs marked by an asterisk (*) are NON-separable verbs
(i.e. the preposition MUST follow the main verb. For example: I called on Dan NOT
I called Dan on!). Verbs that are not marked by an asterisk (*) are separable verbs (i.e.
the preposition may or may not follow the main verb. For example: I brought the
children up OR I brought up the children).
IMPORTANT
Remember that separable phrasal verbs using a pronoun as the object of the verb
MUST be separated (I brought them up NOT I brought up them)
