    WHAT IS A PHRASAL VERB?
    A phrasal verb is a verb + preposition that we use as an idiom. Some examples are: call off, calm down, drag on, drop off, figure out, fill out, give in, hang out, kick off, look into, make up, pick up, put off, run into, show up, take off, think up, try on, turn on, work out, etc… ut, etc…

    WHY LEARN PHRASAL VERBS?
    Phrasal verbs are commonly used in everyday, conversational English. It is more natural to say, "Please put out your cigarette," than "Please extinguish your cigarette." I encourage you to study the lessons in this book, and begin using these phrasal verbs in your conversations. You will sound more natural when you do so.

    My name is Michael DiGiacomo, and I am a native New Yorker. I have been helping language students learn English since the early 1990's. I began my formal language-teaching career in Sendai, Japan in 1994. Since then, I have worked in the ESL field as an instructor, a teacher trainer, an academic director, and a language school director. In 2004, I earned an MBA in Global Management. Now, I am the owner of Happy English, an English tutoring company in New York City. I teach students from all over the world here in New York, and online in their country. The world is a diverse, multicultural, and exciting place to live. When you have the confidence to communicate, you can really enjoy international travel, meet new friends and even advance your career. Happy English was started to provide you with the opportunity to learn practical English language skills and build speaking confidence. My English tutoring is ideal for language students, homemakers, and business professionals who want to brush-up their English. The Happy English mission is to connect the global community by helping people learn to speak English fluently and confidently. I believe that language study should be both enjoyable and practical, so I provide English instruction in a comfortable, professional atmosphere focused on each student's individual needs.

    Key Points About Phrasal Verbs

    1. A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb & a preposition used as an idiom, like put out. Put is the verb, and out is the preposition.

    2. In everyday English, especially conversational English, we prefer using phrasal verbs . Both of the following sentences are correct, but the first one is more commonly used:

    sq.png Please put out your cigarette.

    sq.png Please extinguish your cigarette.

    3. We can separate some phrasal verbs and put the direct object between the verb and the preposition, or after the preposition"

    sq.png Please turn on the lights .

    sq.png Please turn the lights on .

    4. In cases like 4 above, if you use a pronoun, it must come between the verb and the preposition. A pronoun never follows the preposition in a phrasal verb, if the phrasal verb can be separated:

    sq.png I turned it on . Not, I turned on it

    5. Some phrasal verbs are not separable and the direct object comes after the position:

    sq.png I called on Steve when I was in Miami.

    6. Some phrasal verbs have a fixed position. This means that the direct object comes between the verb and the preposition:

    sq.png We bounced our idea off the boss.

    1: back away

    Meaning

    sq.png To retreat; to withdraw; to step back; to move away.

    Usage

    sq.png A person can back away or back away from something.

    Not Separable

    sq.png back away

    Examples

    sq.png I backed away when I saw my angry boss walk into the office.

    sq.png Joe backed away from a fight.

    sq.png Everyone backed away from the suspicious package on the train.

    sq.png The union backed away from their
