Get back at – means to get revenge on
For example, Edna’s got back at the men who ruined her business.
Phrasal verbs are combinations of a verb and one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that together create a new meaning. The particle can change the verb’s original meaning or add a different aspect to it. Here are the three main groups of phrasal verbs:
1. Transitive phrasal verbs: These phrasal verbs require an object after the verb and the particle. The object can come either before or after the particle, and the meaning of the phrasal verb often cannot be deduced from the meanings of the individual words. For example:
– „Turn off” means to switch something off. (e.g., Turn off the lights.)
– „Take off” means to remove clothing or to leave suddenly. (e.g., Take off your jacket / The plane is taking off.)
2. Intransitive phrasal verbs: These phrasal verbs do not have an object after them. They are usually followed by an adverb or prepositional phrase. For example:
– „Come in” means to enter a place. (e.g., Please come in.)
– „Wake up” means to stop sleeping and become conscious. (e.g., I wake up early every morning.)
3. Phrasal verbs with a separable particle: These phrasal verbs can either be used with the particle next to the verb or with the object placed between the verb and the particle. However, the meaning remains the same. For example:
– „Put on” means to wear something. (e.g., Put on your coat / Put your coat on.)
– „Turn on” means to switch something on. (e.g., Turn on the TV / Turn the TV on.)
Phrasal verbs can be challenging to learn because their meanings are often idiomatic. It’s important to understand the context and usage of phrasal verbs to comprehend their intended meaning.
