From MSN Encarta Dictionary:

VERB PHRASE (plural verb phras·es) noun.

Definitions:

verb and objects: a grammatical construction that includes a verb and any direct and indirect objects and modifiers linked to it, but excludes the subject of the verb

My example: the capitalized words are the verb phrase: he GAVE HER A GIFT.

PHRASAL VERB (plural phras·al verbs), noun.

Definitions:

verb combined with another word: a verb followed by an adverb, a preposition, or both, used with an idiomatic meaning that is often quite different from the literal meaning of the individual words. Examples include "put up with," meaning "tolerate," and "stand for," meaning "represent."

***
Yes, you can usually change the sequence of the words, as in "turn the light off", etc.
