A phrasal verb is an action phrase, but a phrase is like a little title that gets used in sentences sometimes.
A phrase is two or more words:
verb phrase - are walking
noun phrase - the black dog
preposition phrase - at lunch
A phrasal verb is a verb plus another word (or sometimes two) that acts like a single verb in a sentence:
look out - Look out, here comes the dog!
pick up - I picked up Spanish when I lived in Madrid - past tense
blow up - The troops blew up the bridge. - past tense
