PHRASAL VERBS......what is it?

Hi super!
Nestes ultimos dias venho dando algumas aulas de introdução ao estudo de PHRASAL VERBS, e
assim acabei colhecionando um monte de informção e material sobre o assunto:
Pra começo de conversa, legal explicar que  Phrasal verbs são Two-words sentences  - que isso? 
QUANDO 1 VERBO  + 1 PREPOSIÇÃO  juntam-se para criar na maioria das vezes um outro sentido ao verbo original.
Tem alguns até facil de compreender, mas outras construção são por muitas vezes indecifraveis e inexplicaveis.

Ex.:   

LOOK +  INTO  = olhar com atenção e ou Investigar.  - FACINHO NÉ?

GIVE + UP =  desistir; dar um tempo   -  Complicado este?

Aqui vai um texto analisado com alguns Phrasal verbs  bacanas:

MARCUS T. MASSON – THE CAMEL MAN

In February 2010,  Marcus Masson, who was once a high school drama teacher  and adventurer, completed a nineteen-day journey, which involved traveling 350 miles across the Sahara –desert. 

The longest-self-sufficient solo journey in history.

First, he went to Marrocos, where he bought two Camels. Then he set out on his epic journey, but the soon ran into problems. He was stung by a scorpion; he fell off a camel and broke several bones. He got lost and ran out of water in temperatures of over 45º Celsius, and he suffered from the hot sun, wind and sand. 

        

Eventually, after almost three weeks, he reached his destination, where a television crew, which was waiting for him, had given up hope of seeing him alive. He weighed 25 kilos less than when he had started.

TEXTO - MASTIGADO:   

 

**       He set out on his epic journey, but he soon ran into problems.

Ele iniciou sua épica jornada, mas logo ele deparou - encontrou alguns problemas.

Set out on = began

Ran into = met

Stung by = attacked by a scorpion

Ran out =  no more water

Given up =  Desist; stop
