HOW TO USE PHRASAL VERBS IN DIFFERENT SENTENCES

(PART 1)

Here is an interesting fact about phrasal verbs. We just need to conjugate the verb part of the phrase, and the other words remain unchanged. For example:

When we eat at a restaurant, I eat up all my salad.

I ate up all the pie on my plate.

In the above sentences, only the word eat changed. The word up remained unchanged.

Also notice that eat is an irregular verb, so its past tense is irregular in the phrasal verb, too (ate).

As you can see, we can use phrasal verbs to make our conversations easier and more natural. While learning about phrasal verbs, we also need to understand the importance of conjugation, which maintains verb tense consistency.

Now that we know what phrasal verbs are, let’s look at types of phrasal verbs.

What are the types of phrasal verbs?

The main types of phrasal verbs are as follows:

1. Separable phrasal verbs
2. Inseparable phrasal verbs
