PHRASAL VERBS

A phrasal verb is the combination of a verb and small particles. These small particles can be either adverbs or prepositions.

A phrasal verb often has a different meaning from the original verb.

3

EXAMPLES

Those who survived World War II will never get over it. (overcome)

World war I broke out in 1914. (started)

I get on with James very well. (have a friendly relationship)

The student looked the word up in his dictionary. (searched for)

PHRASAL VERBS:

SEPARABLE & NON-SEPARABLE

Phrasal verbs can also be classified as

non-separable or separable.

In a non-separable phrasal verb, the verb and the particle cannot be separated. That is, the object is always placed after the phrasal verb.

5

NON-SEPARABLE

(some examples)

Come across (deparar-se com...)

Get rid of (livrar-se de...)

Go over (examinar)

Look after (cuidar)

Look into (investigar)

Put up with (aturar algo/alguém)

Take after (parecer-se com alguém)

6

PHRASAL VERBS:

SEPARABLE & NON-SEPARABLE

In a separable phrasal verb, verb and particle can be separated. The object, therefore, can be placed between the verb and the particle.

7

SEPARABLE

(SOME EXAMPLES)

Call off (cancelar)

Cheer up (animar)

Do over (repetir)

Find out (entender)

Let down (decepcionar)

Pick up (pegar)

Put off (adiar)

Try on (experimentar)

8

PHRASAL VERBS: OBJECT PRONOUNS

When an object pronoun (me, him, her, it, us, you, them) is used with phrasal verbs, it must be placed between the verb and the particle.
