Hi Tâm, Phrasal verbs have specific and multiple meanings, so in some cases you can replace and it would still mean the same thing but cannot always be replaced. For example: Go back --> to fail to keep a promise He never goes back on his word. Get back --> return to a place/start doing something again When does Sara get back from work? Hope it helps. Happy learning! - Himani

You can also say: Go ahead! (Go right on ahead) Go for it! More informal/slang type phrases: Get lost! Get a life! Get a clue!
