  •  Oi there, folks

      After going through the links given here concerning phrasal verbs I have an uncomfortable feeling that there is a gorss misinterpretation of Phasal Verbs.

    Back at school, a long, long time ago, I was taught that a phrasal verb is not the same as a verb with a prepositon. The phrasal verb with its prepositon have a different meaning than a verb and the prepositon in the objective phrase, for example,  phrasal verbs in an example is:

     To aim = The commercial ad was aimed at making people buy a given merchandise - here it is a proper phrasal verb

    but the nex example:

       The thug aimed his gun at me and told me to jump out of my wallet. - here neither verbs are phrasal vrbs because here we have "aim " is a independent verb and a preposition in the objective pharase "me", whereas " jump" is a separate verb with a objective phrase "out of my wallet.

    Another example can be:

    Some people look down on anyone that is different from them - here we have a typical phrasal verb ...  but

    I.got dizzy when I looked down from my balcony on the 10th floor - here the verb and the preposition are separate and independent words.

    To sbstantiate my claim, I take the liberty to quote uncle google:

    A  phrasal verb is a phrase (such as take off or look down on) that combines a verb with a preposition or adverb or both and that functions as a verb whose meaning is different from the combined meanings of the individual words.

    I hope I did not mess up things for you and that you got my point.

     

    • Oi Rys.

      Thank you very much for your detailed comment.

      I got your point.

      Summary is: 

      Phrasal verb makes different meaning from its main verb.

      Sometimes look like phrasal verb used in the sentence but actually not, they are independent.

      Have a nice time!

       I guess that it is better to keep to one source of information although one may think that having various sources of informatiom, we gain a wider, deeper knowledge, but as the old saying goes: if u drink water from many different springs, it may give you stomachache. ;-)
