Phrasal verbs
Transitive verbs
Transitive verbs are verbs that can take a direct object
verb direct object
# They turned down my plan
turned down “what”
MOST VERBS ARE TRANSITIVE
Ask “What” or “whom” to find a transitive verb
Intransitive verbs
Intransitive verbs are verbs that can’t have a direct object
# You will break down if you work too hard.
break down - сломаться (перестать функционировать), ухудшаться
# My mother gets me up early in the morning
get up – подниматься, вставать
Intransitive verbs don’t have a passive form
# She never gave up
(the verb “gave” is the second form of the verb “to give”)
It is intransitive
# She was never given up !!!
(there is no passive form of the verb “to give”)
The SAME phrasal verbs can be both transitive and intransitive
look up (‘get better, improve’) = intransitive:After a horrible last year things are starting to look up.
The verb look up with the above meaning is intransitive, so it has no object.
When look up means ‘look for a word’ it is transitive – word is its object:
look up (‘look in the dictionary for a word’) = transitive:I often look up words in the dictionary.
Transitive verbs
separable (разделяемые)
The phrasal verb and the preposition can be separated, putting the object in the middle
inseparable (неразделяемые)
The phrasal verb and the preposition can’t be separated, they must stay together
