This is a very good article! I did not know that English was the most spoken language on a earth, for I had always thought it was Chinese. The concept of phrasal verbs is quite interesting.

But, some of the structures are the same. For instance, in both English and Chinese you would say that “I want something”. In English, you would say summer has good weather. But, in Chinese, you would say summer weather good.
