Memorising a verb together with its separable and inseparable prefixes –<br />

preferably as part of a phrase or sentence – can help you to extend your<br />

vocabulary.<br />

If you are not sure whether a verb is separable, look it up in the dictionary.<br />

Separable verbs are usually indicated with the abbreviation sep.<br />
