No, I never blow dry my hair and I don't even really brush my hair.
I comb it in the shower, but I don't do anything because when you have curly hair, you can't do those things.
It'll make it all poofy and weird.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Special, special projects here.
But yeah, why are we talking about this, Aubrey?
For sure.
Because some function as single verbs and some are phrasal verbs, and this changes their past tense form.
So we're really going to get into this today for our listeners.
Love it.
So the difference between compound verb and phrasal verb, what do we think it is?
Different, right?
A phrasal verb is a type of compound verb that forms a new idiomatic meaning.
And this is the key.
It has to change the meaning when you put the verb and the preposition together, right?
Exactly.
So we know that the phrase blow off does not mean the same thing as blow.
So that's how it changes the meaning, right?
Exactly.
