Phrasal Verbs

Prepared by: Bai Princess S. Baraguir

 What are phrasal verbs?
• A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or
adverb which creates a meaning different from the
original verb.
• Some phrasal verbs are intransitive.
An intransitive verb cannot be followed by an object.
Example:
He suddenly showed up. "show up" cannot take an
object.
• Some phrasal verbs are transitive. A transitive verb can be followed by an object.
Example:
I made up the story. "story" is the object of "make up"
• Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object is placed between the verb
and the preposition.
Example:
I talked my mother into letting me borrow the car.
She looked the phone number up.
• Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. The object is placed after the
preposition.
Example:
I ran into an old friend yesterday.
They are looking into the problem.

 The use of phrasal verb
Phrasal verbs can be divided into several groups:
• Intransitive verbs: These don't take an object.
e.g. We are angry last night, but we made up at breakfast.
• Transitive verbs: These take an object.
e.g. I am looking after the baby.
• Inseparable verbs:The object must come after the particle.
They are looking after their grandchildren.
• Separable verbs:
With some separable verbs, the object must come between the verb and the
particle Separable [obligatory]: The quality of their work sets them apart from
their rivals.
With some separable verbs, the object can before or after the particle, though
when a pronoun is used it comes before the particle Separable [optional]: Turn the
TV off.
Turn off the TV. Turn it off
