  2. What is a Phrasal Verb? A phrasal verb has two parts: a main verb and a particle. Verb+ Particle = Phrasal Verb Particles and prepositions look the same, but they act differently. Particles often change the meaning of the main verb. Example: He lookedup(verb and preposition) at the ceiling. This is not a phrasal verb!! Example: He looked up (verb + participle) the word in the dictionary. Phrasal Verb!!

  3. Transitive or Intransitive? Direct object Transitive phrasal verbs are followed by a direct object. (This means, they need an object to follow them. They cannot stand alone.) Example: He set up the restaurant on a busy street. Intransitive phrasal verbs do not take a direct object. Example: He gets up at 6:00am every morning.

  4. Transitive Phrasal Verbs Many transitive phrasal verbs are separable(They can go after the particle or between the verb and the particle.) Example 1: He set up the restaurant on a busy street. Example 2: He set the restaurant up on a busy street. **Note: If the direct object is a pronoun, it has to go betweenthe verb and the particle. Example: He setitup on a busy street. NOT!! He set up it on a busy street.

  5. Transitive Phrasal Verbs Separable transitive phrasal verb structure Verb + particle + object (noun) He figured out the problem. Verb + object + particle He figured the problem out. Verb + object (pronoun) + participle He figured it out. **NOTE: Other transitive verbs are inseparable (The direct object always comes after the particle). Example: The café is having difficulty keeping up withdemand. NOT!!! The café is having difficulty keepingthe demand up with.
