سلام دوست عزيز.
ببينيد Phrasal Verb اصطلاحا معروف هستند به Multi-words Verbs يا فعل هاي چند كلمه اي.كه از فعل هايي اصلي و يك Prepositions درست ميشن(مثل Go on كه go فعل اصلي هست و on يك حرف يا Preposition هست).

طبق اطلاعي كه بنده دارم تا تاريخ 15 دسامر 2010 كه اين فعل ها رو شمردن حدود 2918 عدد پيدا شده و براي همه ي اينها فعلا منبعي نيست.اگرم باشه تو اين 1 ماهه حتما درست كردن.

و يه توضيح ديگه:معمولا براي اين فعل ها فعلي اصلي هم هست.مثل مثال هايي كه زدم.البته همه ي اين 2918 تا كاربرد ندارند و براي خيلي از اين ها از فعل هاي اصلي استفاده ميشه
.
اين ليست تعدادي از پركاربردترين Phrasal Verbs هست. 200 فعل معمول
