• Phrasal Verbs
• The meaning of some phrasal verbs is
clear: I picked up the phone. (picked and
up have their normal meanings)
• Many phrasal verbs are idiomatic.
• They may contain the same verb but have
different meanings, depending on the
preposition or adverb which follows:

Phrasal Verbs
Some phrasal verbs, e.g. fall behind, grow
up, set off, are intransitive (they do not
have an object): I grew up in Samarinda.
We can place the object between the verb
and the particle with some transitive
phrasal verbs: We put off their visit = We
put their visit off.
If the object is a pronoun, we always place
it between the verb and the particle: We
put them off.

Prefixes are used to change meaning.
Prefixes never change the part of speech.
A few rules of prefixes:
in + legal = illegal
in + polite = impolite
in + responsible = irresponsible
