Help Your Child Spot and Understand Phrasal Verbs
Hey teacher, my kid’s English homework is all about spotting phrasal verbs, Could you take a look and help us out? Here are a few:
After a long day at school, Sam couldn’t wait to kick back and watch his favorite show.
We need to come up with a fun idea for the science project.
The thief got away with stealing the precious jewels.
Do these all count as phrasal verbs? Would love your thoughts!

Hey there! 😊
Great job spotting those! Yes, all three are phrasal verbs because they consist of a verb + a preposition or adverb that changes the meaning of the original verb. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Kick back → Means to relax.
- Come up with → Means to think of or create an idea.
- Get away with → Means to escape the consequences of something.
So, your kid is definitely on the right track! Let me know if they need more examples or a little extra practice. Happy learning!
