Question: What are the differences between prepositional verbs and phrasal verbs? Could you tell me how to distinguish the prepositional verbs from phrasal verbs?\n\nWhat are the characteristics of prepositional verbs?\n\nHow to teach prepositional verbs using pictures?\n\nThanks a lot for answering my questions.

Answer: Prepositional verbs add the meaning of the preposition to the verb.\nPhrasal verbs has a different meaning and the last particle doesn't work as a preposition.\nFor example, to give to, is a prepositional verb "to" meaning directions, but to give up is a phrasal.
