Transitive phrasal verbs (with an object) Julie writes: It's amazing to see how we take after them in so many ways. Take after means "behave like". Take after is a transitive verb. It takes an object (them) after the verb. Here we use the verb take + the particle after + the object them. (We use the object them to explain who we take after or behave like.) Many phrasal verbs take objects, e.g. "He could not part with the money." Verb preposition object Part with the money Examples 2 Listen to the examples. 1.
