动词词组（phrasal verbs）是英语的重要组成部分，很多英语母语者会通过一个英语学习者对动词词组的掌握程度来判断此人的英语水平。
一个动词词组通常由一个动词和一个副词或介词（后接宾语）组成，如：grow apart、pass away、come across sb./sth. 等。如果介词后面需要添加的宾语是代词，则通常将这个代词放到动词和介词中间，如：give it up、call it off。但这条规则对于某些动词词组不适用，如：come across him、take after her 等。大家在学习中应该反复朗读背诵例句，提升语感，当说到某个地方时，才能自然正确地使用某一个动词词组。
