Separable or Inseparable? Transitive phrasal verbs are almost always:
- A.
Separable
- B.
Inseparable
Correct Answer
A. SeparableExplanation
Transitive phrasal verbs are verbs that require an object to complete their meaning. When a phrasal verb is separable, the object can be placed between the verb and the particle, or it can come after the particle. For example, in the sentence "I turned off the lights," the object "the lights" can be placed between the verb "turned" and the particle "off," or it can come after the particle as in "I turned off them." In contrast, inseparable phrasal verbs do not allow the object to be placed between the verb and the particle. Therefore, since the answer states that transitive phrasal verbs are separable, it suggests that the object can be placed either before or after the particle.Rate this question:

- A.
True
