Two-word verbs are made up of words which are understandable by themselves but have a different meaning when combined. For example, turn means torotate, and down means from a higher to a lower position. Together they mean to reject (as to turn down a proposal) or to lower (as to turn down the volume). Since the combinations are not always predictable, it is necessary to become familiar with and recognize these two-word verbs. A few of the many two-word verbs are in the practice exercise below.
