IV)        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.
2)   Put the words in the correct order to make answers to the questions. Look the phrasal verbs up in a dictionary if you are not sure.
