    Phrasal Verbs

    Phrasal verbs are an important part of English that combine a verb with a particle or preposition. The meaning can change depending on the particle used. There are two main types: separable, where the verb and particle can be separated or together but must be separated when a pronoun is used, and inseparable, where the verb and particle stay together even with a pronoun. Common separable phrasal verbs include "bring up", "fill in", and "pick up". Common inseparable phrasal verbs include "come across", "turn into", and "get over". Phrasal verbs can also contain two particles, which always stay together even when a pronoun is added after.

    PHRASAL VERBS.

    Form.
    Phrasal verbs are a very important part of the English language. They are
    very common, especially in more informal contexts. It is important for you
    to recognize them, because the meaning changes according to the
    particle or preposition involved.

    They are made up of a verb and a particle or, sometimes, two particles.
    these particles can consist in a preposition, and adverb or both. The
    particle often changes the meaning of the verb, so be careful!

    I called Jen to see how she was. (call = to telephone)


    They've called off the meeting. (call off = to cancel)
    Types of phrasal verbs.
    There are two main types of phrasal verbs in terms of word order: separable and
    inseparable. 
    1.Separable:With separable phrasal verbs, the verb and particle can be apart or together.
    Examples:
    They've called the meeting off.
    OR
    They've called off the meeting.

    Watch out! Separable phrasal verbs must be separated when you use a pronoun.

    The meeting? They've called it off.


    The example slide!
    Examples of some common separable phrasal verbs:

    I didn't want to bring the situation up at the meeting.


    (bring up = start talking about a particular subject)
    Please can you fill this form in?
    (fill in = write information in a form or document)
    I'll pick you up from the station at 8 p.m.
    (pick up = collect someone in a car or other vehicle to take them
    somewhere)
    Lucy turned the job down because she didn't want to move to Glasgow.
    (turn down = to not accept an offer)
    Types of phrasal verbs.
    2.Inseparable:
    Even when there is a pronoun, the verb and particle remain together.
    Example:
    Who looks after the baby when you're at work?
    Who looks after her when you're at work?
    Note how we add a pronoun in the second example with the same phrasal verb.
    Still, we can’t separate verb from particle.
    There are some multi-word verbs are inseparable simply because they don't take an
    object.
    Example:
    I get up at 7 a.m.
    The example slide!
    Examples of some common inseparable phrasal verbs:

    I came across your email when I was clearing my inbox.


    (come across = to find something by chance)
    The caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly.
    (turn into = become)
    It was quite a major operation. It took months to get over it and feel normal
    again.
    (get over = recover from something)
    We are aware of the problem and we are looking into it.
    (look into = investigate)
    o not accept an offer)
    Types of phrasal verbs.
    2.Inseparable: With two particles. Phrasal verbs with two particles are also inseparable.
    Even if you use a pronoun, you put it after the particles.
    Examples.
    Who came up with that idea?
    (come up with = think of an idea or plan)
    Let's get rid of these old magazines to make more space.
    (get rid of = remove or become free of something that you don't want)
    I didn't really get on with my stepbrother when I was a teenager.
    (get on with = like and be friendly towards someone)
    Can you hear that noise all the time? I don't know how you put up with it.
    (put up with = tolerate something difficult or annoying)
    The concert's on Friday. I'm really looking forward to it.
    (look forward to = be happy and excited about something that is going to happen)
