D.Some Special Cases about Preposition Combinations

V/A+prep combinations are similar to phrasal verbs, but in most cases, there is an interesting difference. A phrasal verbs such as put off or run into is formed from a root verb(for example,put or run) and a particle (preposition or adverb such as off or into) to express a certain meaning. The particle- off in put off ;into in run into-is an essential part of the phrasal verb and required for its special meaning. For example, put off has a unique meaning that put (without off) does not have : .

We put off the party until next weekend.(put off=postpone; very different from put) Don’t put off doing the laundry.

Unlike phrasal verb, single-word verb and adjectives usually have particular meanings with or without their companion prepositions. For example: Single-word verb: persist-She persisted and finally got an interview with the vice president.

V+Prep: persist+in-She persisted in her job search and got and interviewSingle-word adjective: persistent- She’s very persistent.A+Prep:persistent+in-She was persistent in requesting an interview
