• Definition and Importance

Phrasal verbs are combinations of verbs and one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that, together, create a meaning different from the original verb.

Transitive vs. Intransitive Phrasal Verbs

Transitive Phrasal Verbs require a direct object.

the meeting is the object

Intransitive Phrasal Verbs do not take a direct object.

The plane took off.
no object

Separable vs. Inseparable Phrasal Verbs

Separable Phrasal Verbs allow the particle to be placed either after the verb or after the object.

They called off the event.
They called the event off.

Inseparable Phrasal Verbs do not allow the particle to be separated from the verb.

I came across an old friend.✓

Note: Some phrasal verbs can be both transitive and intransitive depending on usage, and some separable phrasal verbs must be separated when using a pronoun as the object.
