7. Phrasal Verbs - Transitive


Phrasal verbs that are transitive are followed by a noun or an object. The preposition cannot be separated from the verb.

The adverb participle can be separated from the verb and placed after the noun object.
He takes his jacket off. (OR: He takes off his jacket.)

She tried on a few pairs of shoes but they didn't fit. (Verb + preposition + noun)
He's always looked up to him for his courage. (Verb + participle + preposition + pronoun)
