  • This video is about prepositional verbs and phrasal verbs. Prepositional verbs are those that cannot be separated, while phrasal verbs are separable. Mr. P./Marc will use these verbs in his short composition about his past weekend and explain their usage.
    This lesson was designed for elementary students to intermediate ones. Although those advanced students who wish to review their grammar are most welcome to watch it.
    Mr. P. is a Canadian English Teacher/Coach from Toronto, Canada, who has been teaching English since 1997. He is a certified English teacher specializing in EFL, ESL, TOESL, TOEFL, #IELTS, KET, PET, CAE, FCE, and CPE. He taught English to adults in Rome for 20 years and became an Honorary Fellow at UNITELMA Sapienza University in Rome in 2015.

    Being able to separate the verb from its particle cannot be used as a criterion to differentiate between phrasal verbs and prepositional verbs because there exists a type of phrasal verbs know as inseparable phrasal verbs.

    I come across your channel recently and it is very helpful. Here I got an idea of prep phrases, phrasal verbs and idioms and I realize its integral part in developing English. I started your lessons with Conditionals.

    Hi! Thank you for your video. I've a question about. I'm studying topic 22 for CSE oposiciones and I have a doubt regarding differences between phrasal verbs and prepositional verbs. In my paper, I have written down that "like adverbial complements, prepositional objects can often accommodate adverbs between the verb and the preposition". However, one of the differences that I have listed is that "an adverb can be places between a verb and a preposition, while phrasal verbs do not admit an adverb between the verb and the particle". So, which one is true? PrepVerbs can accommodate them but phrasal verbs can't? I'd be really grateful if you could help me with that.

    Hello, thanks for the video. I understood the concept but I have a question.
    What about sentences like:
    "I am *_getting over_* a bad attack of the flu."
    or
    "The new boy has been *_brought up_* in Canada."
    These are phrasal verbs but can't be separated.

    • @Englishing

      That is right. There are many lessons on phrasal verbs in my channel. Please search them, as I explain the fact that they can be separated or not.

    Thank you for this video! It helped a lot! I have a question though. I have to take an exam in two days time, so it's kind of urgent. What are "free combinations" then? Or should I just ignore those?

    • @Englishing
      @Englishing  7 лет назад +3

      Free combinations are a grouping of two or more words that can be combined (more or less) “freely”, though always within the limits of certain semantic minimal rules. For example to eat can be used with (pizza, dumplings, a pear, etc) and not with for example a table. I think you should concentrate more on the ones I listed in my lesson. Good luck !! please share

  • @hullcityafc72
    @hullcityafc72 5 лет назад +1

    Hi, I don't agree with "clear up" - you can separate the verb + particle e.g. "We cleared the disagreement up". In the sense of "resolve," this verb is transitive as it needs an object.

    • @Englishing
      @Englishing  5 лет назад

      Clear up in the meaning of clarify, it is SEPARABLE. In my example it was not an OBJECT I was talking about, it was a situation. Thank you for your comment ! Please share

    @mints505 4 года назад +1

    I really want to know whether a transitive verb can be a prepositional verb.
    I mean....
    Do prepositional verbs include both intransitive verb+preposition and transitive verb+preposition?

    • @ikai6899
      @ikai6899 4 года назад

      It's a rule that: Phrasal verbs can be both intransitive or transitive ;however, prepositional vebs and phrasal-prepositional verbs are always transitive(they always need an object and you can't move it).
      So, no a transitive verb can't be prepostional verb.
      Hope this helps :)

      Hello very little difference. When you use a verb such as START with TO, it usually refers that you stopped doing something and then you do something else. It is like doing something for a purpose. I hope I was clear. It is difficult to explain this difference. Please share

      @@Englishing I have to agree with Parry there about poor English. I am also a non-native speaker and teacher of English like yourself so I hope you’ll take it as constructive criticism. You’ve done a great job of explaining the grammar but the text you’ve provided has a few errors. Here are some examples: ‘in a completely another location’ ->replace another with ‘different’. Also, you can’t clear up your location. They don’t collocate. I recommend either using authentic texts or running your texts by a native speaker. I hope it helps. Cheers.
