Such composites are derived primarily from verbs of movement and action (go, put, take) and adverbial particles of direction and location (up, off, down) the base verbs are mainly mono-syllabic and may underlie a range of phrasal verbs.
For example, in phrases such as get in , get out , get off , get away and get back , the combinations are used both literally and figuratively, and are often idioms or elements in idioms.
Example :
To get away with the murder,
To get back at some one, etc.
A prepositional verb is a preposition and its compliment together.
Example :
In the house, near the end and so on.
