Slide 1: Introduction - Phrasal verbs are a combination of a verb and a particle or preposition - They can be separable or nonseparable - In this presentation, we will discuss the differences between separable and nonseparable phrasal verbs and provide examples

Slide 2: Separable Phrasal Verbs - Separable phrasal verbs are those where the verb and particle can be separated by an object - Example: “I turned off the lights” - “turned off” is the separable phrasal verb, and “the lights” is the object - Other examples: “put on” (put on the shirt), “take off” (take off your shoes), “look up” (look up the definition)

Slide 3: Nonseparable Phrasal Verbs - Nonseparable phrasal verbs are those where the verb and particle cannot be separated by an object - Example: “I ran into my friend” - “ran into” is the nonseparable phrasal verb, and “my friend” is not an object but a prepositional phrase - Other examples: “get up” (get up early), “break down” (the car broke down), “look after” (look after the children)

Slide 4: Differences between Separable and Nonseparable Phrasal Verbs - Separable phrasal verbs can have an object between the verb and particle, while nonseparable phrasal verbs cannot - Separable phrasal verbs can be used in the passive voice, while nonseparable phrasal verbs cannot - Example: “The lights were turned off” (passive voice) vs. “I ran into my friend” (cannot be used in passive voice)

Slide 5: Practice Exercise - Identify whether the following phrasal verbs are separable or nonseparable: 1. “turn up” 2. “give up” 3. “look for” 4. “put away” 5. “catch up”

Slide 6: Answers to Practice Exercise 1. Separable - “turn up the volume” 2. Nonseparable - “I gave up smoking” 3. Separable - “look for my keys” 4. Separable - “put away the dishes” 5. Separable - “let’s catch up soon”

Slide 7: Conclusion - Separable and nonseparable phrasal verbs are important to understand in order to use them correctly in English - Separable phrasal verbs can have an object between the verb and particle, while nonseparable phrasal verbs cannot - Separable phrasal verbs can be used in the passive voice, while nonseparable phrasal verbs cannot
