Phrasal verbs are combinations of a verb with a particle that create a new meaning different from the original verb by itself. For example:
To pick means to select or take something. To pick up, however, means to continue something.
To leave means to go away from a place, but to leave off means to stop something.
Another example:
Turn on the light, please. - Here, to turn on means to activate something. By itself, to turn simply means to change direction.
Phrasal verbs are frequently used in everyday conversations, even in more formal situations. They are used to express a lot of actions and ideas in a concise and natural way, so learning them will help you express your thoughts in ways that will sound more natural to native speakers.
