Phrasal Verbs Part 2

According to my sister phrasal verbs are more common in Dutch than in English.
She is very smart so she must be right.
Probably it would be more difficult for an English person to learn Dutch phrasal verbs than the other way around.

Some phrasal verbs take an object (you call them transitive, this is a grammatical term).
Like: She tied her hair back so she could work better.
The phrasal verb is tie back, the object is her hair.
Other phrasal verbs do not take an object and you call them intransitive.
For example: In the winter the lake froze over.


And this is all about phrasal verbs now..
