🔼PHRASAL VERBS SEPARABLE AND INSEPARABLE🔽

Function:

A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or adverb (or both) that means something different from each of the words that make up the verb. There are two types of phrasal verbs. Separable phrasal verbs can be broken up by other words, while inseparable phrasal verbs cannot be separated by other words.

Form:

°With separable phrasal verbs, you can put a noun between the verb and the participle. With non-separable phrasal verbs, you can`t. °With separable phrasal verbs, we always separate the verb and the participle when the object is a pronoun (you, it, them, etc.).
Form	Estructure	Example
Separable phrasal verbs	Verb + Participle + Noun Verb + Noun / Pronoun + Participle	I don`t have to write down the information. I don`t have to write the information down.
Non-separable phrasal verbs	Verb + Participle (+ Preposition) + Noun / Pronoun	I didn`t get along with my colleagues.

Grammar:

➧ Separable Phrasal Verbs.

You can insert other words into the middle of a separable phrasal verb. Consider the following example, using the phrasal verb take back:

1.- I need to take back the shirt I lent you.

2.- Where’s that shirt I lent you? I need to take it back .

➧ Inseparable Phrasal Verbs.

Inseparable phrasal verbs can be transitive (i.e., they can take a direct object), but you can’t insert that direct object into the middle of the phrasal verb. In other words, they can’t be separated, thus their name. Consider the following examples:

1.- If you focus your education solely on one area, you’ll have nothing to fall back on if you change your mind.

2.- Each child should have at least one older child to look up to .

Examples:

Phrasal Verb	Separable or Inseparable	Meaning
