Some useful information:

A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and a particle (either an adverb or a preposition) that together have a meaning different from the verb alone.

Transitive phrasal verb - a phrasal verb that requires an object e.g. I gave up smoking four years ago.

Intransitive phrasal verb - a phrasal verb that can't take a direct object e.g. Do not give in. These phrasal verbs are always inseparable.

Some phrasal verbs can be transitive or intransitive depending on their meaning. For example:

They gave up the search when it got dark. (transitive, it means "They stopped the search when it got dark.")
OK, I give up, you win. (intransitive, it means "I admit defeat, you win.")
