Lesson 2: Unit 24.2

Grammar of phrasal verbs

Corpus Spot

the grammar of phrasal verbs

Have a look at page 11 in your book for basic information about phrasal verbs.

Consists of a main verb + particle (= adverb or preposition) 

 

You can use some of them transitively and some of them intransitively. Transitively means that there is an object and intransitively means that there isn’t an object.  

The man passed the drinks around. 

The man passed out and hit his head on the pavement 

the grammar of phrasal verbs

When you use it intransitively you cannot separate the particle and the main verb.

It turned out that the man had stolen €1m. 

When the particle is an adverb, transitive phrasal verbs can be separated or followed by a noun as object. They are always separated when a pronoun is the object. 

He put down the vase carefully 

He put the vase down carefully 

He put it down carefully 

Most of you do this right 'on feeling' rather than consciously 

intransitvely (i.e. 'no subject') can never be separated.

the grammar of phrasal verbs

When the particle is a preposition, transitive phrasal verbs cannot be separated, and the object comes after the preposition.

The dog looks at the food.

This new issue adds to our problems.

Most of you do this right 'on feeling' rather than consciously
