From the Back Cover:

All teachers and students of English recognize the problems of understanding phrasal verbs and of using them appropriately. Phrasal verbs are an essential part of everyday communication, and mastery of them promotes more effective language use.

Drawing on The Bank of English, this dictionary gives detailed help in a simple, straightforward way. It shows how phrasal verbs are actually used, with plenty of 'real' examples.

The unique Particles Index deals with the adverbs and prepositions used in phrasal verbs. It focuses on the common meanings associated with each of the particles, and lists the phrasal verbs where the particles have those meanings.

· Over 3000 phrasal verbs
· Over 12000 'real' examples
· Over 2000 synonyms and antonyms
· Each meaning simply explained in a full sentence
· Information on style and usage
· Exceptionally clear layout
