Zanoobia Intermediate Girls’ School English For Third Intermediate Year Unit 1: Phrasal Verbs (Grammar) School Headmistress: Mrs. Nesreen Abdulredha Done By: Fatema Ahmed Ali Samar Saeed Ali FATIMA AHMED RASHDAN Aya Farouk Ahmed

First: Definition What is a phrasal verb? A phrasal verb is a verb consisting of two or three words that are not entirely verbs: first word is always a verb, and the following words are either a preposition or an adverb or both altogether. This type of verbs usually carries a meaning that is not necessarily compatible with the literal meaning of each word in them.

Second: Formula and Order Like any other verb, a phrasal verb follows the subject in the sentence, and it is subject to changes according to the tense as well. Not all the constituents of the phrasal verb are necessarily written in the same sequence; sometimes they are separated depending on the object. Look at the examples below: • We want to hear your thoughts on the matter Eman, speak up! • Abdulla made that excuse up to avoid being punished for not doing the homework.

• I look up to my mother. • We want to hear your thoughts on the matter Eman, speak up! In the first sentence, the phrasal verb consists of three words: look/up/to. The positions of all the three constituents are right after the subject (I) in sequence. In the second sentence, the phrasal verb “speak up” is written at the end as it is an imperative clause. Therefore, the subject and the object are not needed. Ø Subject > Phrasal Verb (full) > Object

• Abdulla made that excuse up to avoid being punished for not doing the homework. This sentence is a different case; the parts of the phrasal verb “made up” are separated. The object “that excuse” is placed between the two parts. P. S. Only transitive phrasal verbs (verbs that have objects) can be separated. The constituents of intransitive phrasal verbs (do not have objects) cannot be separated. Ø Subject > Phrasal Verb (first word: verb) > Object > Phrasal Verb (second word: adverb/ preposition)
