Phrasal Verbs

Many verbs in English are followed by an adverb or a preposition


(also called a particle), and these two-part verbs, also called
phrasal verbs, are different from verbs with helpers. The particle
that follows the verb changes the meaning of the phrasal verb in
idiomatic ways:

VERB

MEANING

EXAMPLE

drop off

decline gradually

The hill dropped off near the


river.
While doing his homework, he
dropped off.

drop off(2) fall asleep

drop off(3)

stop and give


Would you drop this off at the
something to someone post office?

drop out

cease to participate

After two laps, the runner


dropped out.

Some particles can be separated from the verb so that a noun and
pronoun can be inserted, and some particles can't be separated
from the verb. In addition, some phrases are intransitive, meaning
they cannot take a direct object.

Separable

add up
(meaning: to
add)

http://egreco.adm.br/

Correct: She added up the total on her


calculator.
Correct: She added it up on her
calculator.

get around
Inseparable (meaning: to
evade)

Correct: She always gets around the


rules.
Incorrect: She always gets the rules
around (This construction makes no
sense in English.)

catch on
Intransitive (meaning: to
understand)

Correct: After I explained the math


problem, she began to catch on.
Incorrect: She began to catch on the
math problem. (catch on cannot take a
direct object in this meaning.)
Correct: She began to catch on to the
math problem. (the word to makes the
math problem an indirect object, which
is acceptable in this meaning.)

Unfortunately, there is usually no indicator whether an idiomatic


phrase is separable, inseparable, or intransitive. In most cases
the phrases must simply be memorized. Below is a partial list of
each kind of phrase.
