What is Phrasal Verb – Phrasal Verb is a combination of two or more words and acts as a completely new verb with a different meaning from those original verbs.

It combines a verb with an adverb or preposition to indicate a new meaning . This adverb or preposition is called the particle of the Phrasal Verb.

Example – get up , pick up, take after, go through, etc.

These verbs can be used as a normal verb in a sentence and follow the same conjugation rules .

Example – We are using ‘ get up ‘ to show how a phrasal Verb can be used –

Present Tense – He gets up early in the morning.

Past Tense – He got up early today .

Past Participle – He has just gotten up .

Present Participle – He is getting up now .

Gerund – Getting up early is his habit .

Infinitive – He practised to get up early in the morning .


Types of the Phrasal Verb –

1 . Transitive Phrasal Verb – This type of Phrasal Verb uses a direct object .

Example – The manager carried out the order.

2. Intransitive Phrasal Verb – This type of Phrasal Verb doesn’t use an object .

Example – The rain is passed off.

3. Separable Phrasal Verb – In Transitive Phrasal Verb, sometimes we can put the direct object between the verb and the particle.

Example – Let’s keep it up to get more success.

Especially if the object is Pronoun , then it sit between the verb and the particle.
