Review

We’ve learned about:

1.  Intransitive phrasal verbs, which have no direct object, like wake up: I woke up

    at 6:00.

2.  Transitive phrasal verbs, which do have a direct object: I took off my hat.

3.  Separable phrasal verbs, which can have the direct object or the pronoun in the 

     middle: I took my hat off / I took it off. If we use a pronoun like me, you, him, her, 

     us, them, or it, then it MUST go in the middle and not at the end.

4.  Inseparable phrasal verbs, which must have the direct object at the end, and

     not in the middle: They’re looking after our children.

English has more than 3000 phrasal verbs!

How do you know if a phrasal verb is transitive or intransitive, and separable or inseparable?

Unfortunately, there’s no “rule” for looking at a phrasal verb and knowing what type it is! 

The best way is just to study each phrasal verb in context with lots of examples.

Now, ...

Turn to page 207: study the grammar theory and do ex. 1

Then, go back to page 60 and do ex. 1 - 4 and check your answers afterwards.
