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 l nfo 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 are built 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.
| Infinitive | ||||
| present tense | -ing form | past tense | past participle | |
| build in | build in & builds in | building in | built in | built in |
