This is also a common complaint about Simple English books written for English learners. The books claim to have a restricted vocabulary, but they cheat by using phrasal verbs.<p>Their vocabulary includes verbs like <i>put</i> and <i>set</i> along with prepositions like <i>up</i>, <i>with</i> and <i>upon</i>. You can combine these to generate an enormous number of phrasal verbs like <i>put up with</i>, <i>set upon</i> and so on, which are normally considered to be separate vocabulary items.
