3) Read:

A PHRASAL VERB is a verb + particle (preposition or adverb) which creates a different meaning from the original verb, common in a wide variety of contexts. They are not slang or idioms, but rather a very important part of everyday English. They often have a one-word equivalent which is more formal or literary. For example, you can come across a new phrasal verb or you can encounter it. But sometimes, there is no other alternative to the phrasal verb-simply there is no other way to say something but to use the phrasal verb. Students need to understand the most common phrasal verbs and also its various forms in common nouns and adjectives and in what situations/contexts they are appropriate.  

Many phrasal verbs have multiple meanings, either figurative (idiomatic) or literal. For example, you can pick up a language, pick your pencil up off the floor, pick someone up at the airport, pick up a discussion in class, pick up a girl at a bar (or library…), the weather and the economy can pick up, the radio/cell phone can pick up a signal or your mom can pick some milk up at the supermarket.

There is no magic formula to learning them, but it takes practice and more practice. In order to master phrasal verbs, you need to go beyond understanding them and incorporate them into your own speaking and writing naturally. Pay attention to English around you! Whenever you read, watch TV/movies and listen to songs, be on the lookout for when they show up. The more contact you have with phrasal verbs, the easier it will become to understand and start using them!

Phrasal verbs can either be INTRANSITIVE or TRANSITIVE

1) INTRANSITIVE- Doesn't take an object to complete meaning

to fall through: Our plans fell through.  (no object)
to go back: He went back to Brazil.  (no object)
to stand up: He stood up. (no object)

2) TRANSITIVE- Takes an object (something or someone) to complete meaning

to hand in: Tom handed in his job application.
object= his job application

to look for: She is looking for her keys.
object= her keys

If a phrasal verb is transitive (takes an object), it can either be SEPARABLE or INSEPARABLE

A) SEPARABLE: The object can go after the particle or between the verb and the particle


Examples:             To hand in:        Tom handed his job application in.
                                                    Tom handed in his job application.

                           To take off:       I took my gloves off
                                                   I took off my gloves.

**The Phrasal Verb GOLDEN rule: If you use a DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUN (me, you, him/her/it, us, them), the phrasal verb MUST be separated, going between the verb and the particle.

Correct:       Tom handed it in.        I took them off.
Incorrect:     Tom handed in it.        I took off them.

 B) INSEPARABLE: The object must go after the particle

Examples:                    To look for:      She is looking for her keys.
                                                            She is looking her keys for.
   
                                 To come across:    He came across a good book at the store.
                                                              He came a good book across at the store.
