TIPS GRAMMAR - PHRASAL VERBS!!

Phrasal Verbs aren't only a verb followed by a preposition. When we understand their use and rules it is easier to get your English more fluent and correct.

Phrasal Verbs are everywhere in English, They are in magazines, newspapers, websites, blogs, etc.. I belive it is posible for you to talk with a foreigner without making use of Phrasal Verbs.

For this reason the importance of studying and, learn they. They will help you communicate and understand what you are told.
