Multi-word verbs are verbs which consist of a verb and
one or two particles or prepositions (e.g. up, over, in,
down). There is a word class called particles which are
neither adverbs nor prepositions (although they look like
them). Particles are function words, like conjunctions,
prepositions etc., which have no lexical meaning in
themselves and need to combine with other words to
make any meaning.
