Unit 3
Three-Word Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs are not always composed of two words. Three-word phrasal verbs are
composed of a verb, a particle (the second word), and a preposition (the third word). All
three-word phrasal verbs are transitive (with one exception).
Most three-word phrasal verbs are inseparable:
It’s been a long day, I know, but do you feel up to playing tennis after dinner?
It was nice to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you again.
A small number of three-word phrasal verbs are separable because they require two objects:
Mr. Baker tried to screw his ex-wife out of her share of the lottery prize.
One useful three-word phrasal verb is unique. Get over with is always separated, but it is
intransitive:
Everyone in Sofia’s class must make a presentation to the class. Sofia is very
nervous about it, so she wants to go first so she can get it over with and relax.
