Phrasal Verbs
Teacher Guide / Instructions
Phrasal verbs are made by combining a verb with a preposition or an adverb. These new verbs take on a different meaning than they have when they stand alone.
There are two types of phrasal verbs: transitive and intransitive.
Transitive phrasal verbs have an object.
The object can go (1) between or (2) after the phrasal verb.
(1) She took off her jacket.
(2) She took her jacket off.
(1) I want to try on that dress.
(2) I want to try that dress on.
(1) Angela has to call back her mum.
(2) Angela has to call her mum back.
(1) You need to fill out the form.
(2) You need to fill the form out.
Intransitive phrasal verbs do not have an object.

• Tom said he will work out after lunch.
