46. FOCUS ON: pronunciation of phrasal verbs with the particle into

As we saw in Section 6, three-word phrasal verbs are normally accented on the sec­ond, or middle, particle whether they are separable or nonseparable. This also applies to phrasal verbs that convert in to lnfo when they are used with an object. Although these verbs are not made up of three words, recall that into is actually a combination of the particles in and to — two words written as one. For this reason, it is the first syllable of into that is accented:

The speakers arebuilt INto the wall.

This is also true of phrasal verbs using into that do not have an in version:

l bumped INto an old friend.
