Phrasal verbs — meaning shifts

Same verb + different small word = different meaning:

  • look up = search for info
  • look after = care for
  • look down on = think less of
  • look forward to = await with excitement
Example
"Mira looks after her little brother." — she takes care of him.
💡 Tip:Make phrasal-verb pairs your friend — they appear constantly.
