短语动词
I.要点
英语中有许多短语动词在意义上是一个整体,其用法有的相当于及物动词,有的相当于不及物动词,有的兼有及物动词和不及物动词的特征。英语短语动词的构成主要有以下六种:
(1)动词+介词

Ididn'tcareaboutit.
(2)动词+副词
常见的有giveup,pickup,thinkover,findout,handin,pointout等。这类短语动词的宾语如果是名词,既可放在副词前边,又可放在副词后边;宾语如果是人称代词或反身代词,则要放在副词前边。如:You'llhandinyourhomeworktomorrow.
Pleasedon'tforgettohanditin.
