Phrasal verbs 2 (verbos frasales 2) Pages 168 to 175, intermediate book
Dentro de los verbos frasales encontraremos también aquellos que son “separables” y otros que son “inseparables”.
Recordemos que, por lo general, no podemos deducir su significado desde su combinación de palabras. Algunos tienen más de un significado. A continuación tenemos solamente una selección de ellos:
Verbos de dos partes e inseparables: verbo + preposición (no podemos poner el objeto entre el verbo y la preposición y algunas veces adivinamos su significado)

Verbos de dos partes (separables): verbo + partícula adverbial
Podemos poner el objeto entre el verbo y la partícula, o después de la partícula. Si el objeto está constituido por varias palabras, lo ponemos después de la partícula. Si el objeto es un pronombre (ej. me, it, him), lo ponemos entre el verbo y la partícula. A veces podemos adivinar o suponer el significado.
De todos modos, siempre es recomendable revisar el diccionario para ver su significado y uso.
