Help with Phrasal Verbs!

Hi, try this one. It �s a very clear and simple explanation

Your Example:

 

1- Verb + preposition : (e.g. "She will go to school next week")

2- Verb + particle : (e.g. "Her prperty will go to her son") �(Phrasal Verb = the property will be given to her son)

 

 

I used verb + adverb because that is how Oxford Everday Grammar describes it.

 

I don�t think these examples are really phrasal verbs. They are verbs with prepositions.

 

1. I could say: She will go somewhere. 

2. Her property will go somewhere.

 

Phrasal verbs are two-word verbs.

 

If I mean:  She entered, I must use went in .

I can not say:  She went without the in if I mean entered.

 

Sometimes a phrasal verb can be followed by a preposition

run away     from     She ran away from him.
