Hi teachers and friends,
I'm confuse how to differentiate Intransitive + preposition and Transitive + particle in phrasal verb.
Intransitive + preposition: The words someone and something indicate the position and nature of the object of the preposition.
For example: count on someone
Transitive + particle: A verb combines with an adverbial particle. There is always a direct object. The position of direct object varies, it must stands before the particle but sometime it stands after the particle like Intransitive + preposition form.
For example: Give up something
Please give me explanations
Thanks in advance...
