PHRASAL VERBS

Verbs that accompanies an adverb (phrasal verbs)or preposition (prepositional verbs) modifying themeaning of the verb they accompany.

Phrasal verbs are idiomatic expressions that are formed by combining verbs with prepositions or adverbs. This results in new phrasal verbs with a very different meaning than it gives us the dictionary for individual verbs.

Phrasal verbs are widely used both in written English as the spoken.Constantly emerging new phrasal verbs and the grammatical structure ofthe same is a very flexible way to create new verbs and expressionsresource. Moreover, the same phrasal verb can have several meanings.

Phrasal verbs can be divided into three groups:

EXAMPLE: inseparable 1-Verbs

You can not separate the preposition of the verb and direct object must come after the preposition or adverb that makes up the phrasal verb.An example is "look after" with the sense of "care" or "address":

Their parents must look after kids.

2. separable VerbsIn this type of phrasal verbs the direct object complement is between the verb and complement.

An example is "set apart" in the sense of "distinction" or "characterize"

The quality of Their sets products apart from other Rolex watch makers.

3. intransitive verbsSeveral phrasal verb can be used without direct object.

For example "make up" in the sense of "make peace":

When mom and dad Have an argument, they make up They usually thefollowing day.
