| File info: Phrasal verb
A phrasal verb is an expression that consists of a verb and a particle. The particle can be a preposition or an adverb. The phrasal verb changes the meaning of the verb and gives it a more specific meaning.
For example, the verb "put" can be used with many different particles to create different meanings. "Put" can be used with the particle "on" to mean "to wear" or "to place." "Put" can be used with the particle "off" to mean "to remove" or "to turn off."
Complex sentence
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains more than one main verb. The main verbs in a complex sentence are connected by conjunctions such as "and," "but," "or," "so," and "because."
For example, the sentence "I went to the store and bought some milk" is a simple sentence. The sentence "I went to the store because I was out of milk" is a complex sentence. In this sentence, the verbs "went" and "bought" are the main verbs. The conjunction "because" connects the two verbs.
Complex sentences can be very complex. They can contain many main verbs and conjunctions. However, the basic rules of complex sentences are always the same. |
