Phrasal verbs are verbs that consist of two or three words. The first word is a verb and it is followed by an adverb or a prepositions or both. These adverbs or prepositions are sometimes called particles. In some cases it is easy to guess the meaning of the phrasal verb.
e.g. * I cannot put up with his behaviour any more. - tolerate
* Nobody could quarrel with your conclusion. - oppose
Do not hang around here. - move with no aim They left Iraq before the war broke out. - started suddenly Generally when the verbs are transitive (they take an object) the phrasal verb is separable and the object can be between the verb and particle or after the particle.
e.g. * He tore up the letter.
* He tore the letter up.
