Arabic. Although both languages have phrasal verbs, it does not mean
that each phrasal verb in English is translated in the same form as a

Arabic translations. This research employed a qualitative descriptive

Arabic is a rich vocabulary language. It was proven by more than 50% of
the English phrasal verbs found in the novel is translated into Arabic in
the same category or grammatical class, not in the form of description.
