Important Notes:



Transitive and Intransitive:

Phrasal verbs can be transitive (they take a direct object) or intransitive (they don't take a direct object).

Transitive Example:

"I put off

my exam."

Intransitive Example:

"The meeting broke up

early."

Separable and Inseparable:

Some phrasal verbs are separable (the object can come between the verb and preposition/particle), and some are inseparable (the object cannot come between the verb and preposition/particle).

Separable Example:

"I turned on

the lights." (or "I turned the lights

on

")

Inseparable Example:

"I look forward to** seeing you."

This list gives you a good starting point for understanding phrasal verbs. To truly master them, you need to read and listen to native English speakers and practice using them in your own writing and speaking.
