Let's take this one at a time. Work your way through the following exercises. This will be the best method for you to really understand phrasal verbs.

If you are too impatient, skip to the section with examples of many types of phrasal verbs.

What is a verb?

Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject of the sentence is doing.

 A verb is a "doing" word. A verb can express:
  • A physical action (e.g., to swim, to write, to climb).
  • A mental action (e.g., to think, to guess, to consider).
  • A state of being (e.g., to be, to exist, to appear).
Verbs can change according to the time being spoken about, for example, the past, present, and future.

There are also non-action verbs. Non-action verbs describe an emotion, feeling, state of being, opinion or sense.
Examples of non-action verbs:
  • love 
  • agree 
  • feel 
  • am
  • have 
  • know 
  • thought 
  • considered

What Is a Preposition?

How are prepositions used within a typical phrasal verb? Here is a good example for you:

Prepositions are a type of word-glue that hold a sentence together. 

 They tell us:
  • the position of something.
  • the way something is done.
  • the time when something happens.
  • movement
  • possession
Here is a good list of words that are all prepositions:
about
below
excepting
off
toward
above
beneath
for
on
under
across
beside(s)
from
onto
underneath
after
between
in
out
until
against
beyond
in front of
outside
up
along
but

over

What is an adverb?

How is an adverb used in a phrasal verb? Here is a great example:

 Adverbs work closely with verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Less often adverbs are used with some nouns.

 Adverbs give you more information about how something is done. This is called the adverbial function.

 Adverbs are often formed by adding the letters “-ly” to adjectives.

 Some adverbs will help explain where an action happens. These adverbs are called adverb of place or spatial adverbs.

Examples of Adverbs:

time
I never get up early at the weekends.
manner
Walk across the road carefully!
place
When we got there, the tickets had sold out.
degree
It’s rather cold, isn’t it?
frequency
I’m always losing my keys.

 To know a phrasal verb means you know its meaning and the right way to use it. And when a native speaker uses a phrasal verb that you know, you will know what they mean.

 This way, you won't be in the dark as much as you might have been in the past.

HOW TO STUDY PHRASAL VERBS

Take advantage of a notebook and a pen. You can also use a piece of paper. Write down the phrasal verb and the different meanings of the phrasal verb.

 Now, turn the paper over and write it all again...using your memory. Check to see that you got it right. Correct ANY mistakes.  Do it all again...until you can write it all correctly , from your memory.

 If you don't like this method because it is too much like hard work, and it is boring, or you'd rather play a video game...do it anyway. 

 Next, start making flashcards with the phrasal verb on one side, and the meaning and use examples on the other side. You can use some software to help you learn phrasal verbs on your home computer or cell phone. 

 Use the flashcards while you are waiting for the bus, while you are on the bus, while you are waiting for your wife or husband or the kids or you are in the lline at the store or while you are waiting for the elevator...you get the idea.

Use Phrasal Verbs In Conversations

One great way to begin to use phrasal verbs is to use them by asking questions using phrasal verbs to ask questions.

Here is what I mean:

Phrasal Verb: get up
What time do you usually get up? Do you wish you could get up earlier or later?

Phrasal Verb: pay back, pay it back
How often do you borrow money? Do you always pay it back?

Phrasal Verb: eat out
What is your favorite place to eat out at?

Phrasal Verb: cut down
Is there anything you need to cut down on?

Phrasal Verb: do over
If you could do something over in your life, what would you do over?

SOURCE: https://www.eslconversationquestions.com/phrasal-verbs/

When you are speaking English, make sure you use phrasal verbs to ask questions. Get in the habit of stuffing your conversation with plenty of phrasal verbs.

Here is a way to do this ► Before you go out for the day, write down five phrasal verbs you are learning. You can use flashcards to make this method easier.

During your day, take a look at each of the five phrasal verbs and practice making a sentence using each one of the phrasal verbs.

For example, let's say one of the phrasal verbs you are learning to use is this one: look up.

Like many phrasal verbs, look up can be used in different ways, and can have different meanings and implications.

Example One: If you want to see the bird in the tree top, you have to look up at the top of the tree.

 Some Examples: look up, look up at, look up in, look up to

Example One: If you want to see the bird in the tree top, you have to look up at the top of the tree.


Example Two:
When you don’t know the meaning of a word, you can look up the word in a dictionary.

 Example Three:
He is a man I really look up to, he is my hero.
