This paper gives the kinds of complements: noun clauses which function as subject and object; tenseless embedded sentence; noun clauses governed by prepositions.
A phrasal verb is a two-word, sometimes 3-word combination of a verb plus another word, usually an adverb, like break up, or a preposition, like sleep on: Let me sleep on it.
And one final way: if news doesn't come out all at once — maybe a breaking story comes out in pieces — we can say that the news is 'filtering', or 'filtering out', commonly used with the preposition 'out' again.
We invented grammar because without prepositions, we couldn't describe what it's like to fly through a cloud, or jump over a puddle, or Faulkner beneath the stars.
