INTRODUCTION   I. What is a phrasal verb? A phrasal verb is a verb that consists of two or three words. Most phrasal verbs consist of two words - the first word is a verb, and the second word is a particle. The particle is either an adverb or a preposition.

Examples of common phrasal verbs include get up,

go off, turn on, make out, and deal with. There are also some three-word

phrasal

verbs, for example catch up with, look forward to. An important

feature of phrasal verbs is that they are typically idiomatic. Therefore

whole meaning of a phrasal verb cannot be understood

the

by simply putting together the

meanings of its individual parts. For example, the meaning of  cany out (=do) in the sentence Scientists carried out an experiment  is not related to the normal meaning of 'carry' or the meaning of 'out'. Similarly, you could not guess the meaning

of  pull up (=stop)

in the sentence A car pulled up outside the house from the separate meanings of 'pull' and 'up'. A phrasal verb such as answer back (=answer rudely) is related to the meaning of the verb 'answer', back.

of  answer

but this would not help you to guess the meaning

Where a verb freely combines

with an adverb or preposition

to produce

an ordinary

meaning, this is NOT a phrasal verb. In sentences such as The boy fell off his bike and W e carried some chairs out into the garden, 'fall off' and 'carry out' are not phrasal verbs.

reflexive phrasal verbs, where the object is always 'myself', 'yourself',

  3. How do I find the phrasal verb I want in this dictionary? First look for the main verb. Phrasal verbs are listed alphabetically

according

to their

particles after each main verb. When you get to the phrasal verb you want, you will find that the senses of each phrasal verb are listed in order of frequency. that the commonest verb meanings important

meanings

have a

are listed first. The commonest

i~ next

to them,

This means

and most useful phrasal

so that you can see which

are the most

ones to know, •

For example, suppose you are looking for get up, meaning to 'get out of bed'. First look  for the main verb GET. Get up is near the end of the phrasal verbs in GET, after phrasal verbs such as get about, get ahead, and get together. You then need to look for which meaning

sense of  get up you want.

The sense of  get up

to 'get out of bed' is the first sense given. This means that it is the most

frequently

used sense - in this dictionary

the senses of the phrasal verbs are listed in

order of frequency, so the most frequent sense comes first.

  4. Grammar information The new Longman Phrasal Verbs Dictionary demonstrates

clearly how phrasal verbs are

used, with grammar patterns shown at each sense. These show whether takes an object, where human. Grammar

For example, patterns:

Iturn on I s t h l

the object goes, and whether

a phrasal verb

the object is human

or non-

patterns are also placed in order of frequency.

at tum on (=make something

Iturn

start working),

there are two grammar

I~

These patterns show that the object can come either after the phrasal verb or between the verb and the particle. NB The examples also show how this phrasal verb is used, and how the position of  the object can vary - I turned on the radio and listened to the 6 o'clock news. I Could you turn

the oven on if you're going into the kitchen? I Marion walked over to the overhead projector and  turned it on. At nod off  (=start to go to sleep), there is only one grammar I

pattern:

nod off I

This grammar show this:

pattern shows that the verb does not take an object. The examples also

Old Tom had nodded off in front of the television. I I missed the end of her lecture - I think I must  have nodded off. At join in (=take part in an activity with other people) the grammar patterns are:

Ijoin inl

Ijoin in ~

These grammar patterns show that join in can be used without an object, or with an object immediately after the phrasal verb. The examples also show this:

When we come to the chorus, I want everyone to join in. I Politely, he joined in the laughter. At talk into (=persuade

someone

to do something,

unwilling to do), the following grammatical

especially

something

they are

pattern is shown:

Italk [ S b ] into I~ This shows that talk into must have two objects, the first is a person (sb), and the second is a thing (5th). The examples also show this:

  I should never have let you talk me into this crazy scheme. I "Why did you go with him?" "Wen he sort of talked me into it!"

Separable phrasal verbs Phrasal verbs such as turn on, put off, and rip off, all of which can take an object in the middle of the phrasal verb or after the phrasal verb, are usually called 'separable' phrasal verbs. With separable phrasal verbs, the following rules apply: If the object is a pronoun,

such as 'it', 'her', 'them',

'me',

'you'

etc, it must come

between the verb and the adverb: eg tum off  If you're n ot listening to the radio, I'll turn it  off. (NOT I'll turn off it.) If the object is a long phrase, it should come at the end, after the phrasal verb: eg carry out The French carried out a series of six nuclear tests.

Information about whether or not a phrasal verb is passive Phrasal verbs that are usually passive are marked 'USUALLY PASSNE'. Phrasal verbs that are never used in the passive are marked 'NOT PASSNE'. If a phrasal verb is only normally used in the passive, it is shown in its passive form in bold at the head of the entry. For example, at be booked up (=there are no more seats, rooms, places etc available used in British English), only the form be booked

up is shown.
