Phrasal Verbs / Group Verbs
কিছু কিছু Verb-এর সাথে Preposition বা Adverb যুক্ত হয়ে বিশিষ্টার্থ (Idiomatic Sense) প্রকাশ করে। যেমন- Cholera has broken out in this village-এই গ্রামে কলেরার প্রাদুর্ভাব ঘটেছে। এখানে break out একটি অর্থের একক, যার অর্থ প্রাদুর্ভাব হওয়া।
তাই break verb টি out preposition-এর সাথে যুক্ত হয়ে সাধারণভাবে অর্থ প্রকাশ না করে বিশেষ ভাবে অর্থ প্রকাশ করেছে। এভাবে কোন Verb যখন Preposition বা Adverb এর সাথে অবিচ্ছেদ্যভাবে যুক্ত হয়ে বিশিষ্টার্থ প্রকাশ করে, তখন তাকে Group Verb বলে।
