But I'm glad that soon will be a great school. As I see it had Avencas making it better.


Verb plus preposition
1.- A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb.
Example
•I ran into my teacher at the movies last night. RUN + INTO = MEET
•He ran away when he was 15. RUN + AWAY = LEAVE HOME
2.- Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. An intransitive verb cannot be followed by an object.
Example:
•He suddenly showed up. " SHOW UP" CANNOT TAKE AN OBJECT.
3.- Some phrasal verbs are transitive. A transitive verb can be followed by an object.
Example:
•I made up the story. " STORY" IS THE OBJECT OF "MAKE UP"
4.- Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object is placed between the verb and the preposition.
Example:
•I talked my mother into letting me borrow the car.
•She looked the phone number up.
5.- Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. The object is placed after the verb and the preposition.
Example:
•I ran into an old friend yesterday.
•They are looking into the problem.
6.- Some transitive phrasal verbs can take an object in both places.
Example:
•I looked the number up in the phono book.
•I looked up the number in the phone book.
