Last week’s column examined a number of phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs, of necessity, are made up of two words; a verb and an adverb or preposition. Phrasal verbs are categorised as separable, inseparable, transitive or intransitive verbs.
The main distinction between separable and inseparable phrasal verbs is that in the case of the former, other words can be inserted between the two words that form the phrase. The opposite is true of the latter.
