In List One are included those whose particle and preposition cannot be separated.
In List Two, which is very short so far, are those that also take a direct object after the verb as well as an object of the preposition.
Note: No definitions are provided, only the example sentences--one for each item.
I'd be awfully grateful for any help with adding new items to the lists :-)
