Cours sur les Phrasal Verbs

### 1. Qu'est-ce qu'un phrasal verb ?

Un phrasal verb est une combinaison d’un verbe et d’une particule (préposition ou adverbe) qui crée un sens différent du verbe seul.

Exemples :

- Give up (abandonner) → “I gave up smoking.” - Look after (s'occuper de) → “She looks after her little brother.” - Take off (décoller) → “The plane took off at 8 PM.”

### 2. Types de phrasal verbs

#### a) Phrasal verbs transitifs (avec complément d’objet)

Ils nécessitent un objet.

- Turn off (éteindre) → “Please turn off the light.” - Pick up (ramasser) → “Can you pick up the book?”

Certains permettent de séparer le verbe et la particule :

- “Turn the light off.” - “Pick the book up.”

#### b) Phrasal verbs intransitifs (sans complément d’objet)

Ils ne prennent pas d’objet.

- Wake up (se réveiller) → “I wake up at 7 AM.” - Go away (partir) → “He went away without saying goodbye.”

#### c) Phrasal verbs à particule prépositionnelle (fixes)

La particule est inséparable.

- Look forward to (avoir hâte de) → “I look forward to the holidays.” - Come up with (trouver une idée) → “She came up with a great plan.”
