I am just the beginner.

Could anyone explain me the difference between "Idioms and phrasal verbs"

Some phrasal verbs are idioms (She makes up every morning), and some are not (He brought back my book).  Some idioms are phrasal verbs (My dad chewed me out), but most are not (Tell me the news-- I'm all ears).
