Phrasal Verbs
It is generally used with a verb, an adverb, or a preposition. An adverb or preposition added to the main verb changes the meaning of the actual verb, giving it a different meaning. Since it has a different meaning, it becomes an idiomatic verb. For example, if the preposition “up” is added to the verb “give”, we get the idiomatic verb “Give up” and it gains a new meaning regardless of the meaning of the two words that make it up.
Phrasal Verbs are divided into two as “separable” and “inseparable”.
Separable Phrasal Verbs
If a phrasal verb is separable, we can place the object between the main verb and the preposition or add it to the end of the phrasal verb phrase without separating it at all.
Inseparable Phrasal Verbs

As an example, let’s use the phrasal verb “come across”, which is a combination of the words “come” and “across”, in a few sentences.
