Definitionসংজ্ঞা
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a particle whose meaning is not literal. "Pick up" rarely means lifting something with your fingers — it usually means to collect, learn, or improve.
Phrasal verb হলো verb-এর সাথে particle যোগ হয়ে তৈরি শব্দগুচ্ছ, যার অর্থ আক্ষরিক নয়। "Pick up" খুব কমই আঙুল দিয়ে কিছু তোলা বোঝায় — সাধারণত মানে সংগ্রহ করা, শেখা বা উন্নতি করা।

Why does "pick up" have so many meanings?
It is one of the most flexible phrasal verbs in English. Context decides the meaning: pick up a friend (collect), pick up a language (learn), pick up the phone (answer), or business is picking up (improving).
What is the difference between "pick on" and "pick out"?
"Pick on" is negative — it means to bully or unfairly criticise someone. "Pick out" is neutral — it means to select or choose something from a group.
Can I always separate "pick up" with the object?
With nouns, both orders work: "pick up the kids" or "pick the kids up". With pronouns you must separate: "pick them up" is correct, "pick up them" is wrong.
