Christine,

German (English is a Germanic language) is filled with phrasal verbs.   I assume this is true for all the Germanic languages: Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian.

Hi Christine,

I am not aware of any.   No, French does not have any.  One does, however, find some forms of French in Canada, particularly New Brunswick, which combine a French verb such as 'venir' with 'back'.

Do you teach ESL to francophones?   If so where?   And if so, how do you handle faux amis?

Bye, Ron.

  Ron,
   
  Are there any other languages besides English that have phrasal verbs? Is it possible that French has one or a few? I'm trying to think of one, but I'm realizing they are all prepositional verbs.
