Phrasal Verbs in American English provides useful information and guided exercises for ESL/EFL language learners. The contents of Phrasal Verbs come from written and spoken corpora of American English. The most frequent phrasal verbs are taught along with their associated words (collocates). This means that rather than focussing on a phrasal verb such as "get into," this book covers common phrases: "get into an argumen," "get into trouble," etc. Thus the book covers the phrasal verbs and phrases that the learner is likely to meet in everyday situations.
