Writer's Note
"Pick up" is both transitive and intransitive and a separable phrasal verb.
- Transitive: When "pick up" takes a direct object (something that is picked up), it is transitive.
Example: She picked up the book. (The object is the book.) - Intransitive: When "pick up" does not take a direct object, it is intransitive.
Example: Sales are picking up. (No object is directly receiving the action.) - Separable: In some cases, the verb pick and the particle up can be separated by the object.
Example 1: I’ll pick the book up. (separable, object the book is placed between pick and up)
Example 2: I’ll pick up the book. (separable, object the book comes after the phrasal verb)
例子:She picked up the book.(受詞是the book。)
範例:Sales are picking up。 (沒有受詞直接接收這個動作。)
例子 1:I’ll pick the book up.(可分開,受詞the book放在pick和up之間)
例子 2:I’ll pick up the book.(可分開,受詞the book位於片語動詞之後)
Related words: Acquire, collect, continue, gain, gather, get, grasp, gather, go for, have, increase, learn, offer, purchase, score, take, take up, uphold, uplift.
