GRAMMAR:
Phrasal verbs can be intransitive (do not need an object) or transitive (require an object). Let's
look at an example of each:
1. Intransitive Phrasal Verb: The plane finally took off. ('Took off' doesn't need an object to
complete the sentence's meaning)
2. Transitive Phrasal Verb: Can you turn off the lights? ('Turn off' requires an object, in this
case, 'the lights')
There's also a third category of phrasal verbs known as separable phrasal verbs. These verbs can
be separated by their object:
1. Separable Phrasal Verb: I picked up the book. (or) I picked the book up.
Knowing whether a phrasal verb is transitive, intransitive, or separable comes with familiarity
and practice. There are hundreds of phrasal verbs, and they are commonly used in everyday
English conversation, making them an essential part of mastering the language.
One important note about phrasal verbs is that they often have multiple meanings, which can be
understood based on the context of the sentence. For example, "turn up" can mean to increase the
volume, to arrive at a place, or to find something.
