UNIT 136 Phrasal verbs (getup/ breakdown /fill in etc.)
A. We often use verbs with the following words:
in out on off up down away back round through about along over forward by
So you can say put out/get on/take off/run away etc. These verbs are phrasal verbs. We often use out/off/up etc. with verbs of movement. For example:
get on: * The bus was full. We couldn't get on.
drive off: * A woman got into the car and drove off.
come back: * Sally is leaving tomorrow and coming back on Saturday.
turn round: * When I touched him on the shoulder, he turned round.
But often the second word (out/off/up etc.) gives a special meaning to the verb. For example:
break down: * Sorry I'm late. The car broke down. (= the engine stopped working)
look out: * Look out! There's a car coming. (= be careful)
take off: * It was my first flight. I was nervous as the plane took off. (= went into the air)
get up: * I was very tired this morning. I couldn't get up. (= get out of bed)
get on: * How was the exam? How did you get on? (= how did you do?)
get by: * My French isn't very good but it's enough to get by. (= to manage)
B. Sometimes a phrasal verb is followed by a preposition. For example:
* Why did you run away from me?
* You're walking too fast. I can't keep up with you.
* Are you looking forward to your holiday?
* Jack is trying to cut down on smoking. (=reduce smoking)
C. Sometimes a phrasal verb has an object. Usually there are two possible positions for the object. So you can say:
I turned off _the light._(object) or I turned the light off.
If the object is a pronoun (it/them/me/him etc.), only one position is possible:
I turned it off. (not 'I turned off it')
Some more examples:
* Could you fill in this form?
* Could you fill this form in?
but They gave me a form and told me to fill it in. (not 'fill in it')
* The police got into the house by breaking down the door.
* The police got into the house by breaking the door down.
but The door wasn't locked. Why did the police break it down? (not 'break down it')
* I think I'll throw away these newspapers.
* I think I'll throw these newspapers away.
but Do you want these newspapers or shall I throw them away? (not 'throw away them')
* Don't wake up the baby.
* Don't wake the baby up.
but The baby is asleep. Don't wake her up. (not 'wake up her')
