Dear teacher,
Grammar today is ” Phrasal Verb” What is a phrasal verb?
A phrasal verb combines a normal verb with an adverb or a preposition, referred to as the particle of the phrasal verb, to create an entirely new verbal phrase—the phrasal verb. The meaning of a phrasal verb is usually unrelated to the meanings of the words that compose it, so think of a phrasal verb as an entirely new and independent word.
For example:
1_I am not the kind of person who holds all of this against you.
2_Dhiraj is the one who is taking care of the applications for gold loan. 3_Can you please hand it over to him?
Inseparable Phrasal Verbs
Inseparable phrasal verbs, as the name suggests, cannot be separated from each other and have to be used together, no matter what.
For example:
1_You will have to account for all the losses that have been incurred.
2_Harish was asked to check out of the hotel before 9 p.m. on Tuesday.
There are four types of phrasal verbs. They are Separable Phrasal Verbs, Inseparable Phrasal Verbs (Transitive,) Three-word Phrasal Verbs (Transitive,) and Intransitive Phrasal Verbs. Separable Phrasal Verbs: Can take a direct object, and can be used apart from each other.
Thank you.
