1. The term phrasal verbs means a normal verb like get, look, take followed by one or two prepositions. When the prepositional is added the meaning of the original verb changes. There are different types of phrasal verbs depending on whether there is one preposition or two and whether the verb and preposition can be separated.

2. Verbs with three parts:

Most of the verbs below need an object and the object can only come at the end after both the prepositions:

I am looking forward to my holidays.

To catch up with keep up with

To drop in on live up to

3) Verbs with two parts: these verbs take an object. The object must come after the preposition not between the verb and the preposition.

Object. This object can come after the preposition or between the verb and preposition .
