Some verbs are two part verbs (see Clauses, Sentences and Phrases). They consist of a verb and a particle:
N (subject) + V + p + N (object)
[Note: N = noun; V = verb; p = particle]
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
• But sometimes these verbs have the pattern: N (subject) + V + p + N (object)
When the object is a personal pronoun,these verbs always have the pattern:
N + V +N + p:
- grow + up
>> The children are growing up.
- 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.
N (subject) + V + p + N (object)
[Note: N = noun; V = verb; p = particle]
N (Subject) | Verb | Particle | N (Object) |
