Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus a particle (preposition or adverb) and often exhibit semantic opacity, posing challenges for learners regarding separability and transitivity. Regarding the syntactic rules of phrasal verbs, mark T for true and F for false:

(__) "Look up" (meaning to search for information) is a transitive separable phrasal verb, allowing the object to be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Look the word up").
(__) "Run into" (meaning to meet by chance) is a transitive inseparable phrasal verb, meaning the object must follow the particle (e.g., "I ran into him", not "I ran him into").
(__) "Wake up" is exclusively intransitive and can never take a direct object in any context.
(__) If the object of a separable phrasal verb is a pronoun (e.g., it, them), it must be placed between the verb and the particle (e.g., "Turn it on", not "Turn on it").
