phrasal verb
| Grammatical construction in which a verb is followed by a preposition or an adverb, and the combined meaning is different from the sum of the parts. An example is when we talk about whether a plan will ‘come off’, however this pattern does not necessarily imply a phrasal verb, as in ‘looked up’. |
