MULTIPART VERBS.

Multipart verbs are verbs followed by one or more prepositions for example out, on or down. Get in is an example of a multipart verb.

The instructor told us to get in the place.

There are two kinds of multipart - verbs - separable and inseparable.

SEPARABLE NUMELLIPART VERBS

With save multipart verbs, you can separate the hoo puts. Notice in the examples that put and down are together in the first example, but separated in the second example.

Put down your Parachute. 

Put your parachute down.

When you use separable verbs with pronouns like it, him or them - the pronouns always goes between the verb and the preposition. 

Put it down.

INSEPARABLE MULLIPART VERBS. 

For inseparable, multipart verbs, the two parts of the verb must stay together.

Hold onto your leg strap and pull it light. 

It's time for everyone to get in the place.

Some multipart verbs have Idiomatic meaning very different from the literal meaning of the verb and preposition. These are sometimes called phrasal verbs. Wimp out is an example of this kind of multipart verb.

Ian wimped out of skydiving, and he'll never hear the end of it.

LIKE

Like has many different - meanings and usages. Notice that, in this example, like means "in this way". 

Put your right kuce down like this, ok?

In the examples, there are two uses of like. The first like has no meaning at all, and is and is used as a filler. The second like to make means "as if '' and is used to make a comparison.
