Please, need help about verbal phrases ! Hello everybody ^_^ I'd like to know if there are some rules to understand and learn phrasal verbs, because I find a lot of them in English, and I don't know how make difference between a simple verb and phrasal verbs, for exemple: to break and break down, to break up, or to get and to get out, to get up ...etc thanks in advance for your help :)

Ok, so first off we usually call them phrasal verbs rather than verbal phrases. Sadly, there is no easy way. You just have to remember them. I always recommend noting them down whenever you hear a new one. If you need help with specific ones, feel free to ask.

I wish there was an easy answer! :-) Unfortunately, there are no rules. The best way to make sense of them is to become best friends with "The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionaries." Look up a new expression as you come across it and then write a note to yourself. http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/
