Not all the verbs are just a [ ] word.
There are so-called phrasal verbs which consist of a [ ] and one or two particles or prepositions.
The most common [ ] are the following:at, in, up, on, out, off, for, down, away, over, around, through, about.
The [ ] of phrasal verbs is not always easily guessed. Sometimes it is quite different from the meaning of the verb [ ].
For example:
go on= to happen or to continue
go down with smth= to become ill
go through= to be accepted or approved
Some phrasal verbs are used with an [ ]. In this case, the particle may be placed before or after the object:
I'd like to takemy coat off.
I'd like totake off my coat.
However, in case the object is a [ ] (me, her, them etc.), we always put the pronoun before the particle:
Are these shoes comfortable? Please,takethemoff.(Please,take offthem.)
Phrasal verbs are sometimes considered to be less [ ] than a single word with the same meaning.
For example:
We need toset upa new business.
We need tostarta new business.
