Phrasal Verbs

Types of Phrasal Verbs

  1. Intransitive Phrasal Verbs
    These phrasal verbs do not take a direct object. The meaning is often idiomatic, and the verb cannot be separated from the preposition or adverb.

    • Example: The plane took off.
  2. Inseparable Phrasal Verbs
    These phrasal verbs take a direct object, but the verb and particle (preposition/adverb) cannot be separated. The object always follows the entire phrasal verb.

    • Example: She ran into an old friend.
  3. Separable Phrasal Verbs
    These phrasal verbs can be separated when they take a direct object. The object can either come between the verb and the particle or after the particle.

    • Example: I picked up the phone. / I picked the phone up.
