Writer's Note

"Go over" is a transitive, intransitive, and inseparable phrasal verb. Let’s dive into the details together.

  1. Transitive - To put simply, it's a phrasal verb that acts upon something, and that "something" is the object of the verb.
    Example 1: Let’s go over the presentation one more time before the meeting.
    Example 2: The manager went over the quarterly reports with the finance team.
    Example 3: Can you go over what you said earlier? I didn’t catch it all.
  2. Intransitive - "Go over" is used without a direct object, usually to describe movement or reception (how something is received).
    Example 1: He tried a joke during the presentation, but it didn’t go over well.
    Example 2: The new policy didn’t go over with the employees.
    Example 3: She went over to the other side of the room.
  3. Inseparable - You cannot put an object between "go" and "over".

    Example 2: The car went over the edge of the cliff but stopped in time.
