Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with a preposition or adverb that create a meaning different from the original verb. They are an important part of spoken English and informal writing. Phrasal verbs can be transitive or intransitive, and transitive phrasal verbs can be separable or inseparable depending on whether the object comes before or after the particle. The placement of the object differs depending on if it is a noun or pronoun.
