What are Multi-Word Verbs?
A multi-word verb is usually a verb combined with a preposition or an adverb. Together, these words create a new meaning. For example, 'look' means to direct your eyes, but 'look for' means to search for something. Native English speakers use these verbs all the time.
- Multi-word verbs combine a verb with a preposition or adverb.
- They create a new meaning different from the individual words.
Types of Multi-Word Verbs
Multi-word verbs can be a verb plus a preposition, like 'give up' (to quit) or 'put on' (to wear something). They can also be a verb plus an adverb, such as 'turn on' (to switch something on) or 'turn off' (to switch something off). The added word changes the verb's original meaning significantly.
- Verb + Preposition: e.g., 'give up', 'put on'.
- Verb + Adverb: e.g., 'turn on', 'turn off'.
Separable vs. Inseparable
Some multi-word verbs are separable; if the object is a noun, you can place it between the verb and the other word, or after. If the object is a pronoun (like 'it'), it must go between the verb and the other word (e.g., 'turn it on'). Inseparable verbs cannot be split; the object always comes after the entire multi-word verb (e.g., 'look for my phone', not 'look my phone for').
- Separable verbs: object can go between or after (noun), must go between (pronoun).
- Inseparable verbs: object always comes after the whole verb.
