How much native English speakers use phrasal verbs

All the time. Think of them as one word, that happens to have a space, and that splits in two.

Constantly, without thinking about it

We use them all the time. We mix them up and flip them around. We even magic up new ones frequently just for one specific purpose.

A lot

Phrasal verbs are *extremely* common and very idiomatic in English. This is unfortunately not great news for learners who do often struggle with them. But the truth is that they’re pervasive within the language and used all the time. Many phrasal verbs have one-word synonyms (often, but not always, French in origin), but these tend to be much more formal (good for formal written English and prepared speeches) and don’t always have the same implications. Many of these synonyms are also taught to natives in school with phrasal verbs as definitions because those are the natural and normal everyday words we use. I know that they can be daunting and confusing, but they are something that really can’t be skipped over when learning English because they are integral to the language and you would not only sound unnatural and overly formal and like you’re trying way, way too hard to sound fancy if you avoided them, but you’d also be harder to understand (since the phrasal verb tends to be much more easily recognizable) and may even be changing the meaning (since phrasal verbs often have a specific idiomatic meaning that words considered synonyms may not actually carry). It’s probably best not to think of phrasal verbs as a verb with two (or sometimes more) parts, but rather to understand them as one thing with its own meaning. There are some patterns within the verb/particle used that natives can intuitively understand and often use to create new phrasal verbs on the fly (this is quite common but it requires in-depth understanding of how phrasal verbs are built in order to create new ones that people understand), but this isn’t necessarily going to be overly helpful for learners since they are only guidelines, and particles can have multiple uses or may not fit into a pattern sometimes. I know people often want rules that they can remember and use, but unfortunately they don’t really exist here. Just like there are no rules for what a specific letter means if it shows up in a word. You just have to learn phrasal verbs like regular vocabulary. It’s just a single meaning that happens to come in two (or more) parts.

All the time every day and we don’t even think about it at all

I use them so frequently I didn’t know there was a name for it. It may take a while to get them down or to use them. But if you’re with other native speakers, you’ll pick it up and it will become natural. I do think it’s a fluency goal. If you are wanting to sound like a native speaker, you’ll pick should use and practice them.

Constantly. We use them so often that most of us don’t even know when we are using them. Most people don’t even know what they are. I feel bad for learners of English when I think of how many phrasal verbs we use.

If you want to have real world examples of how native speakers talk, then you can watch these videos! They speak in slow and clear English so that you can really absorb and learn the language Try it out! https://youtu.be/tFFe6vnvlPQ?si=26pxHdq9yRJiHKHJ https://youtu.be/19g6w2tOvVA?si=mSv_IqspyRYJuAen

all of them every day.

Constantly.

Are you asking whether we use phrasal verbs often? The answer to that question is yes.

About as much as normal verbs (also, it should be "How much do native English speakers use phrasal verbs?"; "how much native English speakers use phrasal verbs" would be used to refer to the answer to that question)
