本单元是关于滴水的龙头的对话
Michal: Hey Tim, what are you doing?
Tim: I'm fixing this tap. I can't put up with that drip-drip noise anymore.
Michal: Have you turned off the water?
Tim: I told you. That's what I'm working on.
Michal: I mean the main water supply? Have you cut it off?
Tim: No, I haven't. Stop worrying and let me get on with this.
Michal: I don't think you should carry on doing that!
Tim: It's okay, just one more turn of the spanner.

Tim: Oh, go away Michal. You're putting me off. One more turn and then ... aaaaaargh! Oh no! Michal! Help! Stop the water! Aaaaaargh!

Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal verbs are composed of two words: a main verb and a particle.
Look at these examples from this week's episode:
to turn something off:
to stop something working, to switch something off
to work on something:
to concentrate on a task, to do a task
to cut something off:
to stop the supply of something, to disconnect something
to get on with something:
to do something without delay
to carry on:
to continue
to put someone off:
to distract someone
to put up with something:
to tolerate something
There are four different types of phrasal verb:
有四种不同类型的动词片语
Type A
These phrasal verbs take a direct object (they are transitive):
I turned off the water
I cut off the water
He picked up Spanish easily
You can separate the two parts of the phrasal verb with the object:
I turned the water off
I cut the water off
He picked Spanish up easily
If you use an object pronoun(me, you, him, her, it, us, them) you must separate the two parts of the phrasal verb:
I turned it off
I cut it off
He picked it up easily
Type B
These phrasal verbs take a direct object(they are transitive) but you cannot separate the two parts of the verb:
I'm working on a new project
I'm working on it
Keep off the grass!
Keep off it!
Type C:
These phrasal verbs do not take a direct object (they are intransitive) and you never separate the two parts of the verb:
Tim didn't stop. He carried on
The water finally ran out
Type D:
These phrasal verbs are composed of three words. They always have a direct object and you never separate these words with the object or the object pronoun:
I put up with it for too long
She is looking forward to the weekend
One verb, two types:
Some phrasal verbs can be both Type C and Type D. You can add a new particle so that the verb can then take a direct object:
To carry on/ to carry on with something
Even though he was tired, he carried on
Even though he was tired, he carried on with his work
To check out/to check out of somewhere
She checked out at 10 o'clock
She checked out of the hotel at 10 o'clock
Verb patterns:
If you have another verb after a phrasal verb, you always use the gerund form (-ing) of the second verb:
He carried on working
I'm looking forward to meeting you
