Phrasal verbs are a very important part of the English language. Not only are they used in spoken and informal English, but they are also a common part of written and even formal English. However, phrasal verbs can seem difficult to learn. Often it is impossible to guess their meanings from the verb and the particle. It can also be difficult to know how to use them in sentences, especially knowing where to put the object. ?Why can we say He got over the shock.? but not ?He got the shock over.´
