Writer's Note
When we "move on" we often start doing something new, to leave a situation behind, or to change to a different subject, essentially progressing to something else. It may be leaving a place to go somewhere else, finishing an activity, or to start a different topic while in a conversation.
"Move on" is considered an intransitive and inseparable phrasal verb because it does not require a direct object to complete its meaning.
- Intransitive - Describes a verb phrase (two or more words) that does not require a direct object to complete its meaning.
Example 1: It's been 2 years since we broke up. I'm sure it's time to move on.
Example 2: Let’s move on to the next item on the agenda. - Inseparable - When the verb and preposition/particle are always used together, with no object or other words inserted between them
