They're called "separable verbs," "verb-object compounds," and "obligatory objects." Whatever you call them, though, if you're not familiar with them, they mean confusion. In this Qing Wen lesson, John, Connie, and Lili tackle this tricky aspect of Chinese grammar and offer lots of practical examples.

Media - 汉语保卫战
