Creato il: 4 febbraio 2025
Integrate nouns to the phrasal verb, eg. “take up” change into “take up soccer”, “check out” change into “check out the rental skates”, “go off” change into “the alarm goes off”. do not add full stops.
do not integrate nouns to the explanations in the brackets.
integrate nouns related to the subcategories and the explanations.
integrate a single noun (or a single noun phrase) for each phrasal verb.
integrate articles like "the" or "a", or a possessive adjective “my” if needed. pick an article or a possessive adjective depending on what better fits.
if the phrasal verb is intransitive (does not take a direct object), then use the noun as the subject, eg. “the tennis racket strings come apart” instead of “come apart the tennis racket strings”. Make sure the subject agrees with the verb, eg. “the alarm goes off” instead of “the alarm go off”.
if the phrasal verb is transitive (takes a direct object), then add it, eg. “knock out the oponent”. if needed, integrate prepositions between the phrasal verb and the object, eg. “cool down after lacrosse”, instead of “cool down lacrosse”. do not add subjects to transitive verb, eg. “clock out of the office”, instead of “She clocks out of the office”.
