    Certainly! One example of a phrasal verb is “look up”.

    Definition and Usage::

    “Look up” can have several meanings depending on the context:

    To Search for Information:

    Example: “I need to look up the address of the new restaurant.”

    Explanation: In this context, “look up” means to search for specific information, often in a reference book, database, or online.

    To Improve:

    Example: “Things are starting to look up after a rough year.”

    Explanation: Here, “look up” means that the situation is improving or becoming more positive.

    Structure:

    Look (verb) + Up (particle)

    Phrasal verbs like “look up” combine a verb with a particle (preposition or adverb) to create a meaning that is often different from the individual words’ meanings. They are commonly used in everyday English and add nuance to communication.
