Two-word verbs
JULY 12, 2011
===========================
Many English verbs can be followed by prepositions or adverb particles.
🔹Do sit down.
🔹Alice ran down the road without looking at anybody.
Some verbs and prepositions / particles are regularly used together. Examples are: look at, listen to, stand up and switch off. These combinations are rather like two-word verbs. In grammars these are often called phrasal verbs.
The meaning of a two-word verb can be very different from the meanings of the two-parts taken separately.
🔹The meeting had to be put off. (The meaning of put off is not the same as the meanings of put and off.)
Some verbs can be used with both an adverb particle and a preposition.
Examples are: get on with, put up with and look out for.
The two parts of a phrasal verb made with a verb + adverb particle are often separable. That means the particle can go before or after noun objects.
🔹Can you switch off the light? OR Can you switch the light off?
Note that adverb particles can only go after pronoun objects.
🔹She turned it off. (NOT She turned off it.)
The preposition in a verb + preposition combination usually goes with the verb. It can’t be separated from the verb.
🔹He fell off the ladder. (NOT He fell the ladder off.)

Separable phrasal verbs
NOVEMBER 30, 2011
===================================
Many English verbs can be followed by prepositions or adverb particles. Some verbs and prepositions / particles are regularly used together. These combinations are often called phrasal verbs. Examples are: take off, put off and set off, pay back, give back, bail out, ran up, put up, bring up, clean up etc. There are two kinds of phrasal verbs: separable and inseparable
🌺Separable phrasal verbs
Phrasal verbs made with adverb particles are usually separable. As the name itself indicates the two parts of a separable phrasal verb are separable. The particle in a separable phrasal verb can go before or after noun objects.
🔹She switched off the light. OR She switched the light off.
🔹He paid back the debt. OR He paid the debt back.
🔹Tea companies have put up the prices. OR Tea companies have put the prices up.
🔹I have to clean up this mess. OR I have to clean this mess up.
🌺Note that if the object is a pronoun, the particle goes after it.
🔹Please switch it off. (NOT Please switch off it.) Here the object ‘it’ is a pronoun. Therefore the particle goes after it.
🔹Give me my money back. OR Give me back my money. (NOT Give back me my money.)
Here the object is a pronoun. Therefore the particle goes after the object.
When the object is a noun or a noun phrase, the two parts of a separable phrasal verb usually remain together.
