Reach an understanding. Phrasal verbs in English

Here you can take a lesson on the topic: Phrasal verbs V English language. English Phrasal Verbs.

In English, most verbs have the ability to change meaning when combined with certain prepositions. Such verbs are called phrasal. In this lesson we will look at this particular category of verbs, their varieties, meaning in sentences and distinctive features.

Phrasal verbs are also fixed or idiomatic expressions that are useful to remember as you go along. The components of a phrasal verb are itself verb + 1 or 2 particles(preposition or adverb) that slightly change the meaning of the verb. Knowing the meaning of a verb, sometimes it is intuitively clear what is being said, and sometimes the meaning changes completely. For example:

take - take, take up - start playing a new sport or some other activity, take lessons on something. He took up karate last week. - He started doing karate last week.

get - to receive, get on with - to get along well with someone, to find a common language. She gets on well with her boss - She gets along well (finds a common language) with her boss.

pull - pull, pull up - stop, park (about transport). I pulled up on the other side of the street. - I stopped on the other side of the street.

I. By type, English phrasal verbs can be transitive (Transitive) and intransitive (Intransitive).

1. Transitional phrasal verbs require direct addition. For example:

He has turned down my offer.
- He rejected my proposal.
We might put off the meeting.

2. - Perhaps we will postpone the meeting/meeting. I would like to take up yoga classes. - I would like to start taking yoga lessons. Intransitive

Verbs
do not need a direct addition.
For example:

She didn't want to get up. - She didn't want to get up / wake up. My car broke down. - My car broke down. Hurry up! We're late. - Hurry up! We're late.

3. Sometimes the same phrasal verbs can act as
both transitive and intransitive

verbs. For example:
get up - wake up, get up (intransitive) get someone/ something up - lift someone/ something up (transitive).! - Raise the children, come on!

II. Phrasal verbs can also be separable (Separable) or inseparable (Inseparable).

1 TO shared usually refer transitive verbs with direct objects. In this situation, you can separate the verb from the particle and use an object between them. Let's look at examples:

He switched on the light = He switched the light (it)on.
- He turned on the light. Would you like to look through this list? = Would you like to look this list (it) through

? - Would you like to look at this list? As you can see from the examples, objects can sometimes be replaced with pronouns to avoid repetition. Moreover, if the direct object of a transitive phrasal verb is initially a pronoun, then in such cases it always placed between a verb and a preposition

, i.e. such a phrasal verb is necessarily divided. For example:
He put it on.

- He put it on.
He put it on. (wrong)

They turned us down. - They refused us. They turned down us. (wrong) 2. To category indivisible phrasal verbs usually refer to all intransitive,

those. verbs without a direct object, and
some are transitional

Verbs. For example: The prices are going up. - Prices are rising. (intransitive, inseparable) She will go away on Friday. - She will leave on Friday. (intransitive, inseparable)
They are

going to look after the children.
- They're going to look after the children. (transitive, inseparable)

They are going to look the children after. (wrong)

I ran into the huge tree. - I crashed into a huge tree. (transitive, inseparable) Intransitive

I ran the huge tree into. (wrong)
Sometimes it is difficult to predict which phrasal verbs can be separable and which cannot, which can be transitive and which intransitive. Therefore, many large dictionaries make special notes for each verb about its properties and provide examples of use.
III. There is a third type of phrasal verbs. These are phrasal verbs consisting
of three parts.

look forward to - look forward to
get on with - get along, find a common language
put up with - put up with / cope with (problems)
Be careful! Your bag can fall down on someone. - Be careful! Your bag might fall on someone.

As can be seen from the examples, such phrasal verbs are not separated.

IV. Due to the fact that there are a lot of phrasal verbs in English and it is difficult to learn them all at once, they can be divided into several groups, according to the meaning of prepositions.

For example, the preposition "up" means fully, up, increase, intensify. For example:

eat up the apples - eat all the apples completely
prices go up - prices are rising, increasing

The preposition "down" usually means down, lowering, demolishing, recording. For example:

prices go down - prices are going down
knock down a house - demolish (down) a house
cut down a tree - demolish/cut down a tree
write down new words - write down new words

The preposition "back" means back, back. For example:

take this dress back to store - take this dress back to the store
fly back home - fly back home
be back tomorrow - come back tomorrow

The preposition "on" means to turn something on, to put something on. For example:

turn the TV on - turn on the TV
switch the light on - turn on the light
turn on the radio - turn on the radio
put the coat on - put on a cloak

The preposition "off" means to turn something off, as well as to leave, drive away, take off. For example:

switch off the light - turn off the light
drive off in a car - drive away/ rush off in a car
the plane took off - the plane took off / took off from the ground
take your shoes off - take off your shoes

The preposition "over" means to completely or end something. For example:

think it's over- think it through completely
get over with it - get over it

The preposition "out" can mean completely, away, disappear, cross out, distribute, out loud. For example:

wash out the mud - completely wash away the dirt
cross out the word - cross out the word
work out the plan - develop/make a plan
hand out the task - hand out the task
read out loudly - read out loud

V. Many phrasal verbs are found in English proverbs. Here are some of them:

He gives twice who gives in a trice. - He who gives quickly gives twice./ He who helped quickly helped twice.
Let every man praise the bridge he goes over.
- Let everyone praise the bridge they walk on.
Birds of a feather flock together.
It is no use crying over spilled milk. - You shouldn’t shed tears over spilled milk./ Tears won’t help your grief.
Ox is taken by the horns, and a man by the tongue. - They take a bull by the horns, and a man by the tongue./ A chatterbox’s tongue will not lead to good.
The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on. - The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Thus, we got acquainted with the category of English phrasal verbs, with their classification and some interesting features. In order to better remember phrasal verbs, it is recommended to pay attention to the meaning of prepositions and make associations. Phrasal verbs are preferable in spoken and informal English, so when communicating with close friends, you can safely experiment with different turns.
