UNIT 10: MAKE, HAVE, LET, AND GET

Source: Book: The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins, Ebook Edition

1. Use make, have, and let + object + base form of the verb to talk about things that someone can
require, cause, or permit another person (or an animal) to do:
Ex: But Prim begged so hard, cried even, I had to let him stay. Pg 2
Ex: He went completely savage and the Gamemakers had to have him stunned with electric guns to collect
the bodies of the players hed killed before he ate them. Pg 288
Ex: Maybe sharing a confidence will actually make him believe I see him as a friend. Pg 164

2. Help can be followed by:

a. Object + Base form of the verb:
Ex: Later, we wondered if we could have helped them escape. Pg 169

b. Object + Infinitive:
Ex: Not only is Peeta with the Careers, hes helping them to find me. Pg 331

3. Get has a similar meaning to make and have. It is always followed by object + infinitive, not the
base form of the verb.
Ex: The best I can do is to get him to eat a few bits of dried apple. Pg 521

UNIT 11: PHRASAL VERBS

Source: Book: A Game of Thrones, George R. R. Martin, Ebook Edition

1. A phrasal verb has two parts: a main verb and a particle. Verb + particle = Phrasal verb. Particles and
prepositions look the same, but they act differently. Prepositions do not change the meaning of the
main verb. Particles often change the meaning of the main verb:
Ex: He stopped to pick up a splintered branch and examined it critically. Pg 1257
(up is a preposition, it doesnt change the meaning of the verb pick)
Ex: Bran snapped the reins sharply, and Dancer picked up her pace. Pg 1106
(pick up in this sentence is a phrasal verb, up is a particle that changes the meaning of the main verb
pick)

2. The verb and the particle are usually common words, but their separate meanings are often very
different from the meaning of the phrasal verb.
Ex: If you truly believed that, you would never have come. Pg 1349
Ex: I promise you, no matter where you flee, Roberts wrath will follow you, to the back of beyond if need
be. Pg 1356
Ex: If he doesnt come back, Jon Snow promised, Ghost and I will go find him. Pg 587

3. Many phrasal verbs are transitive. They take objects:

Ex: Three of my men were cut down like dogs not a league from where we sit, and what does Robert do?
He goes hunting. Pg 1329

4. Most transitive phrasal verbs are separable. This means that noun objects can go:
a. After the particle:
Ex: Sansa had put on a lovely pale green damask gown and a look of remorse, but her sister was still
wearing the ratty leathers and rough spun shed worn at breakfast. Pg 1326

b. Between the verb and the particle:

Ex: The song never says if the horn can put them back to sleep. Pg 605

5. Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. They do not take an object. They are always inseparable.
Ex: All it would take would be a quick shove of Mords heavy white belly, and he would end up a sickening
red splotch on the stones of the Sky, like so many prisoners of the Eyrie over the centuries. Pg 1141
