"This project was based on the need for English language learners to master phrasal verbs in order to become fully proficient in English as well as to enhance smooth communication. Phrasal verbs, also called multiword verbs, are made up of a verb and an adverb or adverbial phrase and are used in both conversation and writing. Findings from the literature review indicated that it is very common for English language learners to find phrasal verbs difficult to learn due to its large volume, complex syntactical structure and multiple meanings whether or not phrasal verbs exist in the native languages of the English language learners. Based on these findings, a dictionary was created to help English language learners learn phrasal verbs without making them feel overwhelmed and by using easily comprehensible definitions and sample sentences" -- Abstract, p. 1.
