Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal verbs include a verb + a preposition or adverb that changes the original meaning of the verb. For example, a lot of phrasal verbs use the preposition “out.” Examples include break out (get away from), hand out (give to people), and, of course, make out (kiss a lot).

Some phrasal verbs are non-separable, meaning the preposition must directly follow the verb. For instance, you can say "I dropped by the bar," but not "I dropped the bar by" because drop by is non-separable.

On the other hand, drop off is separable. You can say, "I have to drop off my son at school," or, "I have to drop my son off at school."

It’s a bit hard to teach when they are separable and non separable, intransitive, I guess we need  some rules explaining them better.

Phrasal verb is an aspect of english structure that seems hard for english learner because it meaning does not depend on how it look. Learners need to study it frequently so as to know it well.

Actually I think it’s silly and easy for native
But for learners it’s a little hard to know all of the phrasal verbs
I wish to know if there is a special grammar for this or not ?
Anyway thanks.
