Menu/Post 1 - Definition and explanation of “Multi-word Verbs”
MULTI-WORD VERB
What is Multi-word Verb?
Multi-word verb refers to verbs that consist of verb + other words. The “other words” refers
to particles which are one or two words that are either an adverb or a preposition. For
example;
Look out → Look (verb) + out (adverb)
Look forward to → Look (verb) + for (preposition)
Once a verb is paired with an adverb or a preposition, they derive into other meaning and act
differently in grammatical aspect. See the above examples and look at how their meaning
varies. Verb “look” is being collocated to other words which are either an adverb or a
preposition and each gives different meaning.
How is it different from normal verbs?
The verbs that we are used to are called single-word verbs like look, kick, read and write.
Unlike multi-word verbs, single-word verbs or the normal verbs are not collocated to any
other words of preposition or adverbs.
Look at the table below and see the distinction:
 One thing to remember is that both single-word verbs and multi-word verbs are still
verbs.
There are three types of multi-word verbs;
Phrasal Verb
Prepositional Verb
Each type will be given a link to
direct user into its own menu page.
Phrasal-prepositional Verb

Menu/Post 2 – Definition, explanation and quiz on phrasal verb
PHRASAL VERB
What is Phrasal Verb?
Phrasal verbs refer to verb + adverb. They often have meaning which we cannot easily guess
from their individual parts. For example:
The book first came out in 1997. (Was published)
The plane took off an hour late. (Flew into the air)
The lecture went on till 6.30. (Continued)
Phrasal Verbs and Objects
Phrasal Verbs can either be:
Transitive verbs (verbs with direct object)
Intransitive verbs (verbs without direct object)
█ Subject
█ Phrasal Verb
█ Object
Can Phrasal Verbs Be Separated?
When the phrasal verbs are transitive, they are usually separable with object in between.
However, when the phrasal verbs are intransitive, they are not separable.
█ Subject
█ Phrasal Verb
█ Object
Take a look at some other examples!
Separable
In some cases, you can choose to separate the phrasal verbs or not.
 He put down his book. →
He put his book down.
 You can throw away that old radio. →
You can throw that radio away.
Inseparable
 He was late because his car broke down.
 I don't like to get up.
If the direct object is PRONOUN, the phrasal verb must be separated by inserting the
object in between the two parts. Note that the last one is impossible:
John switched on the radio.
John switched the radio on.
John switched it on.
John switched on it.
Do you get it?
Let this figure summarize everything for you!
Menu/Post 3 – Definition, explanation and quiz on prepositional verbs
PREPOSITIONAL VERB
What is Prepositional Verb?
Prepositional verbs refer to verb + preposition. All prepositional verbs are transitive verb
(have direct object) because a preposition always needs its object. The object can be a noun
phrase, a pronoun or the -ing form of a verb. Look at examples in the table below:
 Believe in → believe (verb) + in (preposition)
 Look after → look (verb) + after (preposition)

User will be directed to the link which is about
preposition http://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-apreposition-definition-uses-examples.html
Can Prepositional Verbs Be Separated?
No, they cannot be separated. Unlike phrasal verbs, you cannot insert object in between the
two parts of prepositional verbs.
Who is looking after the baby?
Who is looking the baby after?
Look at how the second sentence does not make sense.
Do you get it?
Let this figure summarize everything for you!
PREPOSITIONAL VERBS
ALWAYS TRANSITIVE
ALWAYS INSEPARABLE
(EX: PLEASE CARRY ON WITH
YOUR WORK.)
Menu/Post 4 – Definition, explanation and quiz on phrasal-prepositional verbs
PHRASAL-PREPSOTIONAL VERB
What is Phrasal-prepositional Verb?
Phrasal-prepositional verbs refer to verb + adverb + preposition. Because it ends with a
preposition, all phrasal-prepositional verbs are transitive which means they have direct object.
 A preposition always needs its object. (as mentioned in prepositional verb section)
Table below are some examples of phrasal-prepositional verbs:
User will be given
link to menu/post 3 –
prepositional verb
 Get on with → get (verb) + on (adverb) + with (preposition)
 Look forward to → look (verb) + forward (adverb) + to (preposition)
Can Phrasal-Prepositional Verbs Be Separated?
Just like prepositional verbs, they cannot be separated. Noun and pronoun objects must
follow all three parts of phrasal-prepositional verbs, and the word order patterns are therefore:
Possible
Not Possible
* He caught Jim (and us) up with.
√ He caught up
with Jim (and us).
√ He caught up
with him.
* He caught up Jim (and us) with.
* He caught up Jim and us with.
* He caught Jim and us up with.
* He caught him up with.
* He caught up him with.

Short Story: The Best Kind of Monster
There is a terrifying monster in my bedroom. I haven’t slept in years- although mum says I
only started complaining last week- and have taken special measures in stealing my dad’s
most powerful flashlight. My best friend Mark told me the scariest monsters don’t like light
and so I keep it under my pillow. Dad’s quite upset he lost it but I told him I was sure it
would (1) turn up (to appear suddenly) after the full moon, probably. That’s how long Alexhe’s my big brother- told me I’d have to wait before I was safe.
It’s not a terribly big monster but I once heard a lady saying the best things come in small
packages and this one didn’t even have a package to begin with so I can only imagine he is
the best and meanest monster there is. I know it’s a “he”. Girls aren’t scary- unless they’re
yelling. But you can always turn the TV up when that happens. You can’t ignore the monster.
He lives on one of my shelves, not quite at the head of my bed but close enough. Sometimes I
think that’s better- keeping the things you fear closest to you. That way you can whack them
on the head and give them a nasty bruise before they have time to (2) creep up on (to move
towards someone quietly and slowly) you.
Last night was the worst night yet. I went to bed extra early, hoping I’d fall asleep before it
got dark. No such luck. I hadn’t done much during the day and wasn’t even close to tired.
When I (3) looked over (to inspect or examine especially in a cursory way) at the clock it
flashed 23.13. These were numbers I didn’t usually see so I knew it was late and should take
secret delight in it but it was no smiling matter.
It was mum who (4) brought him into (to introduce) the house. Mum knows I love her so
maybe she thought she was bringing me a nice monster, a friend of some sort. But if she had
wanted that all she would have had to have done was bring home a baby brother instead. One
I could boss about.
I was (5) looking forward to (anticipate with pleasure) it when she said she had a present for
me and I was bouncing up and down on the couch, dying for her to (6) come through
(succeed in surviving or dealing with an illness or ordeal) the door. When she did, my heart
was being all weird, kind of like one of those racing cars that (7) goes round (turn, revolve,
rotate) and round the track. I’m pretty convinced my heart looks something like a racing car;
it’s better than those fluffy pink things I always see everywhere.
Mum was real excited too and didn’t even bother to (8) take her shoes off (to discharge, leave,
depart) when she (9) came in (enter) and that is a big deal for mum.
“This is very special,” she told me, (10) sitting down (an act of lay down the butt on a surface)
and opening her bag took out a funny sort of object, square and ... flappable. On the back,
there were words which she read out“Inside this book lives a monster.” From that moment on I knew I was doomed.

Page: ABOUT (the blog)
This blog is dedicated to help English learners out there who have problems in using
multi-word verbs. We target for students from high school and universities to learn something
from the blog. The reason for targeting this group of people is because multi-word verbs are
used rather extensively by learners of intermediate level and above.
Hence, my aim is solely to make clearer for learners on what multi-word verb is and
how to use it correctly either in written or oral context.
Like other English learners, I also had difficulties in identifying and using multi-word
verbs. So, here I am trying to solve your problem because I understand your struggle.
