  1. PHRASAL VERBS BBC LEARNING ENGLISH

  2. TYPE A • These phrasal verbs take a direct object (they are transitive): • I turned off the waterI cut off the waterHe picked up Spanisheasily • You can separate the two parts of the phrasal verb with the object:I turned the water offI cut the water offHe picked Spanish up easily • If you use an object pronoun(me, you, him, her, it, us, them) you must separate the two parts of the phrasal verb:I turned it off I cut it off He picked it up easily 

  3. TYPE B • These phrasal verbs take a direct object(they are transitive) but you cannot separate the two parts of the verb: • I'mworking on a new projectI'm working on itKeep off the grass!Keep off it!

  4. TYPE C • These phrasal verbs do not take a direct object (they are intransitive) and you never separate the two parts of the verb: • Tim didn't stop. He carried on. • The water finally ran out.

  5. TYPE D • These phrasal verbs are composed of three words. They always have a direct object and you never separate these words with the object or the object pronoun: • Iput up with it for too long. • She is looking forward to the weekend

  6. TYPE C AND TYPE D • Some phrasal verbs can be both Type C and Type D. You can add a new particle so that the verb can then take a direct object: • To carry on/ to carry on with somethingEven though he was tired, he carried onEven though he was tired, he carried on with his work • To check out/to check out of somewhereShe checked out at 10 o'clockShe checked out of the hotel at 10 o'clock 

  7. VERB PATTERNS • If you have another verb after a phrasal verb, you always use the gerund form (-ing) of the second verb: • He carried on working. • I'm looking forward to meeting you.
