A compound verb is a verb that uses multiple words to form a single verb.
There are four types of compound verb:
Prepositional
When a preposition (a word that indicates location or time – e.g. in, on, for) combines with a verb to add detail to it.
E.g. believe in, care for, rely upon
Phrasal
When a verb combines with a prepositional adverb (a word describing the location or direction of a verb)
E.g. tear off, run out, pull through.
Auxiliary
When the verb combines with a “helping verb”. These are often used when talking in a different tense. Common auxiliary include various forms of to have and to be.
E.g. was walking, will meet, are running
Compound single-word
Sometimes, a single verb is made from multiple words. Both words may be verbs or one may be a descriptor or noun. Sometimes, they are joined and sometimes they are hyphenated.
E.g. babysit, water-proof, stir-fry
Here is a compilation of examples:
