Phrasal Verbs

A phrasal verb is made up of a main verb accompanied by a


preposition, adverb, or both. It functions as any other verb
would, but the meaning is not always related to the meanings
of the individual words that comprise the phrasal verb.
Phrasal Verbs

Examples:
1. "Are you going out with Graham tonight?"
2. "I don't want to go into too much detail now, but we can go for coffee later and
discuss it then."
3. "Ah, that's too bad he's going back on his word, but at least he has a good excuse."
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").
