*Los phrasal verbs me
están reventando.

Decide if the following sentences about phrasal verbs (multi-word verbs) are true or false.

1. Phrasal verbs siempre tienen un significado literal.
2. Phrasal verbs nunca tienen más de dos significados distintos.
3. Normalmente los phrasal verbs son más informales que los verbos normales.
4. No puedes separar el verbo y la partícula con el objeto.
5. Un verbo a veces cambia su significado cuando está junto con una partícula de un phrasal verb.
6. Un phrasal verb consiste en dos o tres palabras.
7. La partícula de un phrasal verb puede ser un adverbio o un pronombre.

A veces se puede separar un phrasal verb y poner el objeto (un nombre o un pronombre) en medio, entre el verbo y la partícula.

I took off my	jacket		I took my	jacket	off
	(object)			(object)

Pero si el objeto es un pronombre (it, them, me, you, him, her, us), siempre va entre el verbo y la partícula.

Here are some more examples;

1. Could you turn on the TV? / Could you turn the TV on? / Could you turn it on?
(turn on = encender)

2. Please throw away the food. / Please throw the food away. / Please throw it away.
(throw away = tirar a la basura)
