Phrasal Verbs

Verb + particle (particle verbs)

d. You should not give in so quickly. – in is a particle, not a preposition.
e. Where do they want to hang out? – out is a particle, not a preposition.
f. She handed it in. – in is a particle, not a preposition.

Many phrasal verbs combine a particle and a preposition. Just as for prepositional verbs, particle-prepositional verbs are not separable.
a. Who can put up with that? – up is a particle and with is a preposition.
b. She is looking forward to a rest. – forward is a particle and to is a preposition.
c. The other tanks were bearing down on my Panther. – down is a particle and on is a preposition.

d. They were really teeing off on me. – off is a particle and on is a preposition.
e. We loaded up on snacks. – up is a particle and on is a preposition
f. Susan has been sitting in for me. – in is a particle and for is a preposition.

Note that prepositions and adverbs can have a literal meaning that is spatial or orientational. Many English verbs interact with a preposition or an adverb to yield a meaning that can be readily understood from the constituent elements.
He walked across the square.
She opened the shutters and looked outside.
These more readily understandable combinations are not phrasal verbs, although some books and dictionaries may include them in lists of phrasal verbs.

Furthermore, the same words that occur as a genuine phrasal verb can also appear in other contexts, as in
1(a) She looked up his address. Phrasal verb.
1(b) She looked his address up. Phrasal verb.
2(a) When he heard the crash, he looked up. Not a phrasal verb.
2(b) When he heard the crash, he looked up at the sky. Not a phrasal verb.
