Phrasal Verbs: Rules
1. A phrasal verb may be conjugated into any verb tense. Only the main verb will change;
the preposition/adverb is static.
2. A phrasal verb can be transitive (has an object, i.e. "break up the fight") or intransitive
(does not have an object, i.e."break up [with someone]"). Intransitive phrasal verbs cannot
be separated, but the transitive verb may be separated by the object that accompanies it
("break the fight up").
