26. FOCUS ON: phrasal verbs and the adverb back

The adverb back is sometimes used with phrasal verbs to mean again. The follow­ing sentences have the same meaning:

Wegot together again. Wegot backtogether.

Back is always placed directly before the particle. When back is used with separa­ble phrasal verbs, the object must separate the verb and particle, and back must be placed between the object and the particle:

/ put the engine backtogether. I put backtogether the engine.

Do not confuse the adverb back, which modifies phrasal verbs, with the particle back that is part of some phrasal verbs (and has the same meaning of again).
