Explanation:
In this dialogue, the phrasal verbs are "called off" (meaning to cancel), "over it" (meaning no longer interested or affected by something), and "fell for" (meaning to fall in love with someone). Let's analyze each part of the dialogue:
A: "Well, they were, but she's called off the engagement."
Here, A is explaining that the engagement has been canceled. The use of the phrasal verb "called off" indicates that the engagement is no longer happening.
B: "But why? Why is she suddenly over it all of a sudden?"
B is asking why the person in question has suddenly lost interest in the engagement. The use of "over it" implies that she is no longer interested or affected by the engagement.
A: "I don't know. She must have chased after someone else."
A is expressing uncertainty about why the person ended the engagement. The phrasal verb "chased after" suggests that she may have started pursuing or being interested in someone else.
B: "But that's terrible. She can't do that! He's madly in love with her, poor guy. Remember how quickly he fell for her when he first met her? He'll never get over it."
B is expressing his opinion that it is a terrible situation because the person who was in love will have a hard time moving on. The phrasal verb "fell for" indicates that the person quickly developed strong feelings for her. The use of "get over it" means he will have difficulty getting over his feelings for her. This emphasizes the intensity of his love and the challenge of moving on.
