What is phrasal verb  ¡Oh my God! I don’t now, But I have a friend I will call her. I know, is very easy, the one is:
1.  A phrasal verb  is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb. Example: I  ran into  my teacher at the movies last night.  run + into = meet He  ran away  when he was 15.  run + away = leave home 2.  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 3.  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“ 4.  Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable.  The object is placed between the verb and the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, separable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a * between the verb and the preposition / adverb. Example: I  talked   my mother   into  letting me borrow the car. She  looked   the phone number   up . What are phrasal verbs?
5.  Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable.  The object is placed after the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, inseparable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a + after the preposition / adverb. Example: I  ran into   an old friend  yesterday. They are  looking into   the problem . 6.  Some transitive phrasal verbs can take an object in both places.  In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, such phrasal verbs are marked with both * and + . Example: I  looked   the number  up in the phone book. I  looked up   the number  in the phone book. 7.  WARNING!  Although many phrasal verbs can take an object in both places, you must put the object between the verb and the preposition if the object is a pronoun. Example: I  looked   the number  up in the phone book. I  looked up   the number  in the phone book. I  looked   it   up  in the phone book.  correct I  looked up   it  in the phone book.  incorrect What are phrasal verbs?
