Grammar: phrasal verbs
1) The
term 'phrasal verb' usually refers to al!
multi-word verbs, consisting of a verb + particle(s). Phrasal verbs can
be divided into three basic types:
1 Verb + particle (INTRANSITlVE)
Some phrasal verbs are
intransitive and don't take a direct object.
Sit down and enjoy it.
2 Verb + object + particle (TRANSITlVE -
SEPARABLE)
The biggest group of
phrasal verbs is transitive. These verbs take a direct object.
With separable verbs,
when the direct object is a noun, you can
put it before or
after the particle.
Take off your shoes. OR Take your shoes off
When the direct object is
a pronoun, you have to put it between the verb and the particle.
Switch it off, please. (NOT Switch off it.)
3 Verb + particle + object (TRANSITlVE - NOT
SEPARABLE)
With this type of phrasal
verb you always put the direct object - noun or pronoun
after the particle.
She looks after her grandmother.
