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: EXAMPLE The hill dropped off near the drop off decline gradually river. drop While doing his homework, he fall asleep off(2) dropped off. drop stop and give something to Would you drop this off at the off(3) someone post office? After two laps, the runner drop out cease to participate 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: Correct: She added up the total on her calculator. to add) Correct: She added it up on her calculator. get around Inseparable (meaning: to Correct: She always gets around the rules. evade) Incorrect: She always gets the rules around (This construction makes no sense in English.) catch on Correct: After I explained the math problem, she Intransitive (meaning: to began to catch on. understand) Incorrect: She began to catch on the math problem. (catch on cannot take a direct object in this meaning.) VERB MEANING
