Phrasal verbs are complex verbs consisting of a main verb and a particle, either a preposition or adverb. They can be transitive or intransitive, separable or inseparable. Transitive phrasal verbs take a direct object, while intransitive phrasal verbs do not. The same phrasal verb can be both transitive and intransitive depending on its meaning. Separable phrasal verbs allow objects to be placed between the verb and particle, while inseparable phrasal verbs must keep the verb and particle together. Understanding these classifications is important for correctly using English phrasal verbs.

3. Phrasal verbs
transitive(переходные) intransitive(непереходные)
She is looking for a book Suddenly the sun came up
The police broke up the fight The lesson is over
He made up the story I often wake up early

4. Transitive verbs
• Transitive verbs are verbs that can take
a direct object
verb direct object
# They turned down my plan
turned down “what”
• MOST VERBS ARE TRANSITIVE
• Ask “What” or “whom” to find a transitive
verb

5. Intransitive verbs
• Intransitive verbs are verbs that can’t have
a direct object
# You will break down if you work too hard.
 break down - сломаться (перестать
функционировать), ухудшаться
# My mother gets me up early in the morning
 get up – подниматься, вставать

6. • Intransitive verbs don’t have a passive form
# She never gave up
(the verb “gave” is the second form of the verb “to give”)
It is intransitive
# She was never given up !!!
(there is no passive form of the verb “to give”)

7. • The SAME phrasal verbs can be both
transitive and intransitive
• look up (‘get better, improve’) = intransitive:
After a horrible last year things are starting
to look up.

8. • The verb look up with the above meaning is
intransitive, so it has no object.
• When look up means ‘look for a word’ it is
transitive – word is its object:
• look up (‘look in the dictionary for a word’) =
transitive:
I often look up words in the dictionary.

9. Transitive verbs
separable (разделяемые)
• The phrasal verb and the
preposition can be
separated, putting the
object in the middle
inseparable (неразделяемые)
• The phrasal verb and the
preposition can’t be
separated, they must stay
together

10. Separable
# This is very important
information. Please write it
down.
# It's terribly cold out!
Please put your coat on before
you go out.
Inseparable
# Get off that motorcycle if you
don't have a helmet!
# This is such a big city! I'm
always surprised when I run
into someone I know on the
street.
