20 common PHRASAL VERBS that are EASY to learn!
One of the most common questions I receive from English learners is “Why are phrasal verbs like ‘sit down’ necessary?” The answer is that they are an accepted part of English, especially in speaking. Yes, it might sound redundant to say “sit down,” “stand up,” “fall down,” and “continue on” instead of simply saying “sit,” “stand,” “fall,” and “continue,” but phrasal verbs like these add emphasis and intensity to English communication. In this lesson, you will learn about 20 phrasal verbs which generally carry the same meaning as their verb. This makes them easier to learn because you do not have to memorize a separate, idiomatic meaning. The phrasal verbs in this lesson include:call up, clean up, continue on, fall down, fill up, freeze up, help out, hide away, hurry up, lend out, lift up, mix up, pack up, return back to, send out, shake up, sit down, stand up, wait up, and wrap up. Make sure to do the quiz to test your understanding of everything after you have watched the lesson, and continue practicing by writing your own examples in the comments. You can do it!

Hi Alex,
I would like to ask about the verb FALL DOWN.
I the dictionaries is only this explanation for FALL DOWN as a phrasal verb as an intransitive verb :
1 if a building is falling down, it is in very bad condition
2 to fail because of a particular reason or in a particular way
I think your example „to fall down the stairs“ doesn´t use the phrasal verb FALL DOWN but the ordinary verb FALL with a preposition DOWN.
Am I wrong ?
Thank you,
Adriana
