Transitive phrasal verbs
Fall into 3 categories – where the object NP can occur in relation to the verb and particle. Transitive phrasal verbs

1. Separable transitive phrasal verbs
AS LONG AS THE DIRECT OBJECT OF A SEPARABLE TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERB IS NOT A PRONOUN, THE PARTICLE MOVEMENT RULE IS OPTIONAL. IF, HOWEVER, THE DIRECT OBJECT IS A PRONOUN (HIM, HER, IT, THEM, THIS/THAT, THESE/THOSE) THE PARTICLE MOVEMENT RULE MUST BE APPLIED. e.g. get back, pick up, take on, turn off a. John looked up the phone number. b. John looked it up. 1. Separable transitive phrasal verbs
6
IT IS TO PUT LONG, “HEAVY” ELEMENTS AT THE END OF CLAUSES AND SENTENCES RATHER THAN IN THE MIDDLE.
e.g. John looked up some information about the music festival in which his favorite band will perform. Although it is grammatical, to use the particle movement rule in the example above sounds clumsy Because the particle would be so far away from the verb. END WEIGHT PRINCIPAL

2. Inseparable transitive phrasal verbs
A SMALL GROUP OF TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS DO NOT ALLOW THE PARTICLE TO MOVE OVER THE OBJECT NP EVEN IF IT IS A PRONOUN. e.g. look into, come by, run into a. Don’t pick on my brother. b. Don’t pick on him. 2. Inseparable transitive phrasal verbs

3. Permanently separated transitive phrasal verbs
A VERY SMALL GROUP OF TRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS REQUIRE THAT THE OBJECT NP OCCUR BETWEEN THE VERB AND THE PARTICLE. e.g. ask (someone) out, do (something) over, see (something) through a. The job is getting Janice down. b. The job is getting her down. 3. Permanently separated transitive phrasal verbs

intransitive phrasal verbs
THEY MAY OCCUR AS PURE INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS OR ERGATIVE PHRASAL VERBS. intransitive phrasal verbs
10
1. PURE INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS
THE VERB PART OF AN INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERB USUALLY CANNOT BE SEPARATE FROM THE FOLLOWING PARTICLE BY AN ADVERB. e.g. come over, get together a. The plane took off quickly. 1. PURE INTRANSITIVE PHRASAL VERBS
11
2. Ergative phrasal verbs
DESCRIBE AN ACTION THAT IS EXPERIENCED BY THE SUBJECT. e.g. die down, crop up a. Over the past two weeks, a number of problems have cropped up. 2. Ergative phrasal verbs
