Phrasal verbs are the complex verbs which consist of some words (VERB+Preposition or adverb)(Фразовые глаголы – это сложные глаголы, которые состоят из нескольких слов (глагол+предлог или наречие))
Verb + preposition | Verb + adverb | Verb + adverb + preposition |
Back in – | Break down – | Get on with – |
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
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.
