Phrasal verbs are “multi-word verbs”. These verbs consist of a basic verb + another word or words. The other word (s) can be prepositions and/or adverbs that modify or change their meaning. For example ‘give up’ is a phrasal verb that means ‘stop doing’ something, which is very different from ‘give’. In the article that you have just read there are a few phrasal verbs like :
- pull off : Manage to do something difficult or tricky/to steer or turn a vehicle off the road
- roll down : roll down (something) or roll (something) down : to move (something) down especially by turning handle
- head for : to go or cause to go (towards)
- woke up : arose from sleep/realized

Notice the highlighted words in the following sentences.
- “When I leave,’ Sophie said, coming home from school, “I’m going to have a boutique.”
- Jansie, linking arms with her along the street, looked doubtful.
- “I’ll find it,” Sophie said, staring far down the street.
- Jansie, knowing they were both earmarked for the biscuit factory, became melancholy.
- And she turned in through the open street door, leaving Jansie standing in the rain.
- When we add “ing” to a verb, we get the present participle form. The present participle form is generally used along with forms of “be’, (is, was, are, were, am) to indicate the continuous tense as in “Sophie was coming home from school.”
- We can use the present participle by itself without the helping verb when we wish to indicate that an action is happening at the same time as another.
- In example 1, Sophie “said” something. “Said”, here, is the main action.
- What Sophie was doing while she was “saying” is indicated by “coming home from school”. So we get the information of two actions happening at the same time. We convey the information in one sentence instead of two.
- Analyse the other examples in the same way.
