The document discusses different types of multi-word verbs in English: phrasal verbs consisting of a verb and an adverb, prepositional verbs consisting of a verb and a preposition, and phrasal-prepositional verbs consisting of a verb, adverb, and preposition. Phrasal verbs can be transitive or intransitive, and transitive phrasal verbs can have the object placed in different positions. Prepositional and phrasal-prepositional verbs cannot be separated and always have a direct object. The document provides examples to illustrate the characteristics and usage of these different types of multi-word verbs.
