Lesson Twenty-sevenverb + preposition
As you can see and hear from the examples above, there are many different combinations of verbs and prepositions that you have to remember. This takes years of practice, but it’s worth the effort because these phrasal verbs are very common in American and British English. Sometimes a single combination of a verb and a preposition might have several different meanings. An example of that is go + by.
