Advanced Phrasal Verbs & Multi-word Verbs
மேம்பட்ட இணை வினைச்சொற்கள்
Some English verbs stack two particles at once, or blend with a preposition into a three-part unit — pushing the phrasal-verb habit from earlier levels to its most compressed form.

Three-word verbs pack a verb, particle, and preposition into one unit
look forward to (anticipate with pleasure — verb + particle + preposition, all fixed together) / come up with (invent, produce an idea)
தமிழில் மூன்று-சொல் வினை அமைப்பு கிடையாது — ஒரே தனிச்சொல் இதே பொருளை தரும்
Tamil generally expresses these same ideas with a single dedicated verb (எதிர்பார் for 'look forward to', கண்டுபிடி for 'come up with' in the sense of inventing) rather than stacking multiple small words together. English's three-part phrasal verbs behave as a single fixed unit despite being three separate words — you can't rearrange or partially translate them. At this level, treat each one purely as vocabulary to absorb through exposure, the same discipline you applied to simpler two-word phrasal verbs earlier.
