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

 

1. build...in l into p.v. When you build something in or build something into something else, you put it in the item you are making during its construction or assembly rather than adding it later.

l told the builder that I wanted him to build some shelves in.

In the past, FM radios weren't built into cars — you had to add one later if you wanted one.

built-in part.adj. When something has been put into something else during its con­struction or assembly, rather than being added later, it is built-in.

The sound from the stereo goes to built-in speakers in every room of the house.
