Phrasal Verbs

They are "phrasal verbs", a verb that you add one or more prepositions. For example "make + up" is "make up" [meikap]. We all know this word as a noun, means makeup, but did you know that means also "invent" and even "reconciled"? So "make" in principle do", but if we add the preposition "up" means something completely different depending on context. As well the preposition may appear separated from the verb in the sentence, often do not  mean because we know that the preposition must be related to the verb.understand what wemeans "
