A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or adverb that creates a new meaning different from the original verb. Phrasal verbs can be transitive, taking a direct object, or intransitive, not taking a direct object. Examples of intransitive phrasal verbs include "grew up", "will talk", and "jumping". Examples of transitive phrasal verbs include "came across" and "set up". Phrasal verbs can also be separable or inseparable, affecting the placement of the object.

2. What are phrasal verbs?
A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb.
An adverb in a literal phrasal verb modifies the verb it is attached to, and a preposition links the subject to the
verb.

4. TRANSITIVE AND INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS
– transitive phrasal verbshave a direct object*
– intransitive phrasalverbs do not have a direct object.
*An object is a word or part of a sentence that is
affected by the action of a verb.

5. EXAMPLES OF INTRANSITIVE VERBS
She grew up.
In the sentence above, “she” is the subject, and “grew up” is the intransitive verb.

6. We willtalktomorrow.
Will talk: this verb is an intransitive verb.
It has no direct object.

7. The kids are jumping.
Jumping: this verb is an intransitive verb.
It has no direct object.

8. put off (postpone, move to a later time):
We’ve put off the meeting for a week.
(put off = phrasal verb, object = ‘the meeting’)
EXAMPLES OF TRANSITIVE VERBS

9. Came across (find by accident)
I CAME ACROSS my old school reports when I was clearing out my desk.
(came across = phrasal verb, object = old school reports)

10. set up (organise, configure):
I’ve set up a filter in my email inbox.
(set up = phrasal verb, object = ‘my email’)

11. SEPARABLE OR INSEPARABLE
PHRASAL VERBS
A further way of considering phrasal verbs is whether they are separable or inseparable.
 In inseparable verbs, the object comes after the particle.

12. For example:
 "She got on the bus .“
 "On weekdays, we look after our grandchildren.“

13.  Separable verbs have several ways of separating verb, particle and object. Usually, the object comes
between verb and particle.
For example:
 "She looked up the word in her dictionary."

14.  He put on the jacket.
