Provoking Phrasal Verbs 1

To Piece Together

Hello everyone! Now it's my turn to post something. As you may have noticed, we've started a new category - Phrasal verbs. Non-native speakers of English tend to hate them at first, because they are so illogical most of the time. But I, for instance, grew fond of them because they make English such a fascinating language.

Phrasal verbs might not be as incredible or splendid as idioms and similes, but if you want to speak English very well, or pass as a native speaker, you really need to learn and use them. I will be posting phrasal verbs every Wednesday (or Thursday) so hopefully you will start to like them after a while.

This week post is about one nice phrasal verb to piece something together. When you piece something together you learn the truth about something by considering all the separate bits of information you have. For example, police or any law enforcement agency usually learn the truth by piecing together all the information they have in order to catch a killer or a thief, etc. There are many great series about law enforcement agencies and agents where you can come across this lovely phrasal verb such as NCIS, Criminal Minds, Rizzoli and Isles and so on. If you are not a fan of violence, but you love solving crimes then I reccomend very witty, smart and funny show White Collar.

So this is it for today and have a nice rest of the week!
