Thanks, Bob. But just to be sure, do they function in the same way as do
English PVs. In other words, are they different from prepositional verbs
and thus allow particle movement in both transitives (He took off his hat)
and intransitives (Off you go.) The context of this particular discussion
is ESL and, therefore, the necessity of teaching certain aspects of English
which other languages do not share.
I wonder, for example, if Scandinavians make errors similar to those made by
francophones.
Would they ever say things such as, 'Please pick me at my house at 9'.

Christine,
German (English is a Germanic language) is filled with phrasal verbs. I
assume this is true for all the Germanic languages: Danish, Swedish,
Icelandic, Norwegian.

Hi Christine,
I am not aware of any. No, French does not have any. One does, however,
find some forms of French in Canada, particularly New Brunswick, which
combine a French verb such as 'venir' with 'back'.
Do you teach ESL to francophones? If so where? And if so, how do you
handle faux amis?
Bye, Ron.

Ron,
Are there any other languages besides English that have phrasal verbs? Is
it possible that French has one or a few? I'm trying to think of one, but
I'm realizing they are all prepositional verbs.
