Let’s take a look at the phrasal verb ‘drop off’. As you know, phrasal verbs can have more than one meaning. In this cartoon, ‘drop off’ means both ‘fall off’ and ‘fall asleep’. For example:
1) Drop off – similar to fall
The boys dropped stones off the cliff
2) Drop off – fall asleep

2) Pick up – learn something without effort
'It's possible to pick up enough English in two weeks to get by on your trip to London.'
