2. PHRASAL VERBS

3. Phrasal Verbs What are they…? How do you use them correctly?

4. Phrasal verbs are commonly used in English, so it’s important to learn them! A phrasal verb has 2 parts: 1) a verb 2) and a preposition (at least one) special meaning * often a phrasal verb has a special meaning

5. …Examples Show up = arrive/come Show off = brag/show how great you are Show around = to familiarize someone with a new place Take off = leave a place Take after = to resemble or look like another person

6. Sometimes phrasal verbs have an object... The object simply answers the question: What? Or Who? Look at the following examples

7. 1. Cynthia drops off the children at 8:00 each day. Drop off = phrasal verb... WHO does she drop off? The children...The children = object 2. Carlos wanted to get healthy. So he decided to give up smoking. Give up = phrasal verb... WHAT did he give up? Smoking... Smoking = object

8. 2 When a phrasal verb uses an object, the object can occur in 2 locations: (=this is called a separable phrasal verb) Look at this example: Michael was scheduled to marry Lisa in two days. He should have been excited, but he wasn’t. Instead, he felt... Very VERY Nervous!!!

9. But, a day before the wedding, Michael decided that he had made a BIG mistake ! So he called off the wedding! 1. He called off _______________ 2. He called off. 2. He called ____________ off. 3. He called off. 3. He called _________ off.

10. Poor Lisa!

11. Grammar Rules: An object of a phrasal verb can appear: 1. After the phrasal verb: They turned up the volume. OR... 2. In the middle of a phrasal verb: They turned the volume up. 3. But, if the object is a pronoun it must be in the middle. They turned IT up.

12. Now it’s your turn to do some grammar! What are some other ways to say each sentence below? 1. She tried on her new dress. Answer: She tried her new dress on. She tried it on. 2. They called off the games due to rain. Answer: They called the games off due to rain. They called them off.
