SEPARABLE AND NONSEPERABLE
The term phrasal verb refers to a verb and a preposition which together have a special meaning.

(2) to leave on a trip.

There are two types of phrasal verbs:
-->Separable.
-->Nonseparable.
With a separable phrasal verb, a noun may come either between the verb and the preposition or after the preposition as in this example:
I put my jacket on or I put on my jacket.
BUT if we replace the noun by a pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) like in this example:
(my jacket --->it ), the pronoun always comes between the verb and the preposition.
I put it on.

B4Bers, We deserve a Break!
Dear B4Bers,
After 3 weeks of hard work, we surely deserve a 5-minute break. Here is a video about computer jargon.
As a teacher trying to integrate technology in my teaching, I surely recognize myself in this show.
But remember, laughter is the best medicine.
Enjoy it.

Dear B4Bers
I have created an new weblog, http://b4b07.blogspot.com/, that I will be using to share with you my blogging experience in order to free http://mydearstudents.blogspot.com from the heavy loads of audio and video which are causing trouble for you and for my students as well since most of them have a low speed connection.
You can always visit this blog as it is the mother blog where you can find the links to B4B 07 and all the other blogs on the side bar.
Please accept my apologies if this change causes any inconvenience.
Thank you.
