Word Wise • Phrasal verbs
• Attributes (qualities) of people

When we use a verb with a different word or words (e.g., a preposition or an adverb),
its meaning is different. Such a group of words is called a phrasal verb.

Examples: ask for → to request something

care for → to take care of someone or something

1. Get along — to have good interactions with others

2. Get away — to escape from something
3. Get off — to leave a form of transportation (except a car)

4. Get over — to move past an obstacle to the other side

5. Get together — to meet and spend time together
