2. PHRASAL VERBS
• PhrasalVerbs List
• Phrasal verbs are usually two-word phrases consisting of verb + adverb or verb +
preposition. Think of them as you would any other English vocabulary. Study them
as you come across them, rather than trying to memorize many at once. Use the
list below as a reference guide when you find an expression that you don't
recognize. The examples will help you understand the meanings. If you think of
each phrasal verb as a separate verb with a specific meaning, you will be able to
remember it more easily. Like many other verbs, phrasal verbs often have more
than one meaning.
3. 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. 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.
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.
5. 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
6. What is a phrasal verb?
A phrasal verb is a verb followed by a preposition or an adverb;
the combination creates a
meaning different from the original verb alone.
Example :
To get = to obtain I need to get a new battery for my camera.
To get together = to meet Why don’t we all get together for lunch one day?
7. Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called “multi-part” or
"multi-word” verbs.
The preposition or adverb that follows the verb is sometimes called a
particle.
Phrasal verbs and other multi-word verbs are an important part of the
English language.
However, they are mainly used in spoken English and informal texts. They
should be
avoided in academic writing where it is preferable to use a formal verb
such as “to postpone”
rather than “to put off”.
8. Transitive and intransitive phrasal verbs :
Some phrasal verbs are transitive. (A transitive verb always has an
object.)
Example : I made up an excuse. ('Excuse' is the object of the verb.)
Some phrasal verbs are intransitive . (An intransitive verb does not
have an object.)
Example : My car broke down.
9. Separable or inseparable phrasal verbs :
Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. (The object is
between the verb and the preposition.)
Example : I looked the word up in the dictionary.
Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. (The object is
placed after the preposition.)
Example : I will look into the matter as soon as possible.
Some transitive phrasal verbs can take an object in both
places.
Example : I picked up the book.
I picked the book up.
However, if the object is a pronoun, it must be placed between
the verb and the preposition.
Example : I picked it up.
