    There are 4 main types of phrasal verbs in English: 1) Intransitive and non-separable verbs with a particle but no object (e.g. "eat out"). 2) Transitive and separable verbs that can have the object before or after the particle (e.g. "put on/put your coat on"). 3) Transitive and non-separable verbs that require the object after the particle (e.g. "looking after the baby"). 4) Phrasal verbs with two or more particles that require the object after the second particle (e.g. "gone down with flu").
