Hi !
I sure can help you. :)
Phrasal verbs are a combination of a verb and an adverb or a verb and a preposition.
Here's some examples :
Blow up (exploser, éclater)
Break in (entrer par effraction)
Come from (provenir de)
Drop out (quitter l'école, décrochage scolaire)
In fact, there's two categories of phrasal verbs :
Separable phrasal verbs : these phrasal verbs can be separated by another word.
For example, "I need to give back the book I borrowed from you." can become "I need to give it back."
Inseperable phrasal verbs : these phrasal verbs can't be separated. 
For example : Students should have a teacher to look up to. In this sentence, we can't say "look it up" because it doesn't mean the same thing (Look it up = chercher, look up to = admirer) !
I suggest you consult this site, I'm pretty sure it will help you get ready for your exam !
