Phrasal verbs
English speakers combine many verbs with other words to make new verbs. These verbs are called phrasal verbs because the meaning comes from the whole group. They use phrasal verbs more when they speak. This will help you to understand conversational language.
When they write they usually use more formal single word verbs which mean the same thing.
