Phrasal verbs 2–9 ➜ Units 138–145 American English ➜ Appendix 7
A
Phrasal verbs 1 Introduction
We often use verbs with:
in
out
on
off
up
down
away
back
by
through
about
along
over
forward
round or around
So you can say look out / get on / take off / run away etc. These are phrasal verbs.
We often use on/off/out etc. with verbs of movement. For example:
get on
drive off
come back
turn round
The bus was full. We couldn’t get on.
A woman got into the car and drove off.
Sarah is leaving tomorrow and coming back on Saturday.
When I touched him on the shoulder, he turned round.
Unit
137
Often the second word (on/off/out etc.) gives a special meaning to the verb. For example:
break down
find out
take off
give up
get on
get by
Sorry I’m late. The car broke down. (= the engine stopped working)
I never found out who sent me the flowers. (= I never discovered)
It was my first flight. I was nervous as the plane took off. (= went into the air)
I tried many times to contact her. In the end I gave up. (= stopped trying)
How was the exam? How did you get on? (= How did you do?)
My French isn’t good, but it’s enough to get by. (= enough to manage)
For more phrasal verbs, see Units 138–145.
B
Sometimes a phrasal verb is followed by a preposition. For example:
phrasal verb
look up
run away
keep up
look forward
preposition
at
from
with
to
We looked up at the plane as it flew above us.
Why did you run away from me?
You’re walking too fast. I can’t keep upwith you.
Are you looking forward to your trip?
C
Sometimes a phrasal verb has an object. For example:
 I turned on the light. (the light is the object)
Usually there are two possible positions for the object. You can say:
I turned on the light. or I turned the light on.
object object
But if the object is a pronoun (it/them/me/him etc.), only one position is possible:
I turned it on. (not I turned on it)
In the same way, you can say: 
take off my shoes.
I’m going to 
take my shoes off.
but These shoes are uncomfortable. I’m going to take them off. (not take off them)
wake up the baby.
