This book has been written for quick reference, in order to avoid it becoming too heavy and theoretical.
Phrasal-prepositional verbs are made up of three parts: a verb, an adverb particle and a preposition. They are always transitive (have a direct object) and are often used in informal contexts. The adverb particle and the preposition cannot be separated, with the exception of the following verbs, which take a direct object after the verb : fix someone up with something , fob someone off with something , let someone in on something , put something down to something , put someone up to something, take something out on someone.
Updated to reflect questions found on the most recent ESL tests, this book presents 400 common phrasal verbs as they are used in everyday English. Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with prepositions or adverbs. Familiarity with phrasal verbs and understanding their use as nouns (breakup, showoff, etc.) or adjectives (spaced-out, broken-down, stressed-out, and many others) is essential to ESL students.
