‘franglais’ is a result of mixing French and English. It’s only by learning complete sentences and expressions that we can make our language sound close to a native speaker’s. I’ll try to put more videos with phrasal verbs, then can you sound more natural, too. Good luck!

how to speak clearly with phrasal verbs
my problem is how to avoid what we can callfranglais
thanks you for all I need to learn a good English
What’s your definition of a phrasal verb, then? It’s quite possible that I’m wrong, after all, English is my first language so I never had to bother learning them when I was a kid! For me, ‘look’ is a verb, it means what I do with my eyes (a very crude definition, I know). ‘look up’ in the sense of directing my eyes somewhere higher than myself, is not a phrasal verb because it still means ‘what I do with my eyes’. I think that grammarians call this a ‘prepositional verb’. However, ‘look after’ is not something that I do with my eyes, so the phrase, verb+preposition means something different to the verb on its own.
thanks very much for the content, I hope it gave you a little advertising.
I don’t quite agree that look after is a phrasal, Jonathan…,just as look into, look through
But I would say that “look up” or “down” are…

Hi Prof,
Please put the examples. This can help me also and more explanation. Thank you for all you do for us

You’re right, Armelle, think of phrasal verbs as part of the English lexicon (vocabluary etc) and not as a grammar point. I’ll put some more examples up soon!
thanks you – I have difficulty with phrasal
verbs I think than I must learn them by
heart
