Phrasal Verbs in passive voice
What is phrasal verbs ??
Phrasal verbs are called two-word verbs are made up of a verb + particle.
Ex: Put on, look up, pick out…
On, off, up, down, in and out are common particle.

• Adverbs and prepositions look the same. However, adverbs are part of the verb phrase, and they often change the meaning of the verb.
Verb + adverbShe’s looking up the word. (She’s searching for the word in the dictionary)
Verb + preposition She’s looking up at the sky. (She’s looking in the direction of the sky)

• Transitive phrasal verbs have objects and most of them are separable.
• Which means that the object can come:
After the verb + particle or between the verb + particle

Phrasal verbs can be transitive or intransitive

• BE CAREFUL!! When the object is pronoun, it must come between the verb and the particle.
