The tests are listed in this PDF on PHRASAL AND PREPOSiTIONAL VERBS. I'm afraid the tests don't get any simpler.

You should read this Post:256204. Here is just a part of it: There are a number of particles (up, down, in, out, on, off, away, back) which should make us very suspicious that we are dealing with a separable phrasal verb, and a number of them (with, without, by, for, at, across, of, from,...

Sorry Jim, the term "unreal phrasal verb" doesn't exist I've just made it up. What I wanted to do is to make the difference between verbs with an idiomatic meaning (= phrasal verbs) and verbs with a straightforward meaning (name ??) I know though that in grammar we call "phrasal verbs" verbs...

I need a few of the regulars out there to help me out again, could you please check what I've answered so far and tell me if I'm right? If I'm wrong please simply point me in the right direction and I'll try again. Unfortunately questions B and C have stumped me, so I'd be grateful if anyone...

the issue of phrasals that are 'verb + prep' aren't an issue for meOne point I was trying to make is that (the way I look at it) there is no such thing as "a phrasal that is 'verb + prep'". If a preposition is involved, then the verb plus that preposition cannot be considered a phrasal...
