PHRASAL VERBS

When a verb is used with an adverb particle, the combination is called Phrasal verb. There are a very large number of these in English and their meaning is always different from the meanings of the two words taken separately.
Phrasal verbs can be intransitive (not followed by a direct object) or transitive (followed by a direct object) . When a phrasal verb has a direct object, the two parts of the verb can usually be separated: the adverb particle can be put before or after the object.
However, when the object is a pronoun, the adverb particle can only go after the object.
There are a few verbs which consist of three parts: a base verb, and adverb particle, and a preposition,. They are used in the same way as any other prepositional verb and follow the same rules. They are Phrasal-prepositional verbs.
In order to understand the meaning of Phrasal verbs and Phrasal-prepositional verbs, you may have to refer to the dictionary.
