短语动词
短语动词是一种固定词组，由动词加介词或副词等构成，其作用相当于一个动词。常见的短语动词有以下五种：
1. 动词+介词
相当于及物动词，其后的宾语位置比较固定，通常置于介词之后。如：
i ran across him at a conference in milan.
don’t worry, i’ll deal with this.
2. 动词+副词
◆相当于及物动词（当宾语是名词时，名词可置于短语动词之中或之后；当宾语是代词时，则只能将代词置于短语动词之中）。如：
he brought his children up strictly.
he brought up his children strictly.
he brought them up strictly.
◆相当于不及物动词。如：
mind your head. look out.
