Ok, phrasal verb or not?

1. Keep him out!

2. Get out of here!

3. Take it out.

4. My son is out in Canada.

Your thoughts on the above (phrasal verb or not).
  

Top answer

Dear Jussive, It is my opinion that «take out» and «keep out» are examples of separable phrasal verbs. It is my opinion that «get out of» is a phrasal verb also, but inseparable. In example four, «out in Canada» is adverbial.

JussiveCombinations such as 'die out', 'stand out', etc, are blatantly phrasal verbs because they have a meaning not distinguishable from the definitions of both words.


So, when one can determine the whole meaning by joining its parts, this wouldn't be called a phrasal verb?
