Some verbs are two part verbs (see Clauses, Sentences and Phrases). They consist of a verb and a particle:
- grow + up
>> The children are growing up.
Often this gives the verb a new meaning:
- take + after
>> She takes after her mother
= She looks like her mother, or She behaves like her mother. - count + on
>> I know I can count on you
= I know I can trust you, or I know I can believe you.
Some transitive two part verbs (see Clauses, Sentences and Phrases) have only one pattern:
N (subject) + V + p + N (object)
[Note: N = noun; V = verb; p = particle]
| N (Subject) | Verb | Particle | N (Object) |
| She I My father | takes can count comes | after on from | her mother you Madrid |
Some transitive two part verbs (see Clauses, Sentences and Phrases) are phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs have two different patterns:
• The usual pattern is: N + V + N + p
| N (Subject) | Verb | (N) Object | Particle |
| She He We | gave knocked will be leaving | the money the glass our friends and neighbours | back over behind |
• But sometimes these verbs have the pattern: N (subject) + V + p + N (object)
| N (Subject) | Verb | Particle | N (Object) |
| She He We | gave knocked will be leaving | back over behind | the money the glass our friends and neighbours |
When the object is a personal pronoun,these verbs always have the pattern:
N + V +N + p:
She gave back it
>> She gave it backHe knocked over it
>> knocked it overWe will be leaving behind them
>> We will be leaving them behind
• Phrasal verbs are nearly always made up of a transitive verb and a particle. Common verbs with their most frequent particles are:
| bring: | about, along, back, forward, in, off, out, round, up |
| buy: | out, up |
| call: | off, up |
| carry: | off, out |
| cut: | back, down, off, out, up |
| give: | away, back, off |
| hand: | back, down, in, on out, over, round |
| knock: | down, out, over |
| leave: | behind, out |
| let: | down, in, off, out |
| pass: | down, over, round |
| point: | out |
| push: | about, around, over |
| put: | across, away, down, forward, off, on, out, through, together, up |
| read: | out |
| set: | apart, aside, back, down |
| shut: | away, in, off, out |
| take: | apart, away, back, down, in, on, up, over |
| think: | over, through, up |
