Have you ever thought about "how to" learn this challenging part of English like me ? !!
It always scared me that's why I couldn't take an efficiently step until reading this article,

so it can be a good beginning after all,
good luck, Selma

Using phrasal verbs when speaking and writing
Phrasal verbs are very common in informal language. This includes e-mails, journals, friendly letters, and everyday conversations.
It is not as acceptable to use phrasal verbs in formal language, such as a speech, business letter, essay, or technical writing. You should avoid using phrasal verbs in formal language.
Here are a few common phrasal verbs and possible formal verb choices. A sentence is included with each phrasal verb to show the context.
- check out (He is going to check out the room.) => investigate, examine, inspect
- get away with (The thief is going to get away with the crime.) => avoid punishment, escape
- fix up (I am going to fix up a room for our guest.) => organize, arrange
- pick on (Don't pick on your brother.) => tease, bother, annoy, irritate
- turned down (She turned him down for a date.) => rejected

that video ( added by Anastasia ) has a smart tip for understanding entirely,
as always "verb" and "noun phrase" is very important "base phrase markers" such as;
-verb + preposition= phrasal verb or
-noun phrase + preposition= preposition makes impact the nouns
thanks again Anastasia,
