The Phrasal-Verb To Verb — Replacement Data-base
As I am often asked about the proper Verb to replace many of the common Phrasal-Verbs that Native-Speakers of English use so-often, this Database is here to provide such information. I hope it will be helpful for you. If there is a Phrasal-Verb that you are wondering about that you do not see listed here — and would like to see it added, just leave a comment below and I will happily add it to the list.
