May 2, 2017 at 15:46 comment added jarnbjo @Alone-zee In your first sentence, 'mit' is an adverb and 'nehmen' is the verb. See also duden.de/rechtschreibung/mit_neben_damit
May 2, 2017 at 15:42 comment added Con-gras-tue-les-chiens @jarnbjo Hi. In that case, is "nehmen" the verb used here? I wonder what is the function of "mit" in this sentence, then. Is it an adverb, after all, with the meaning of "(take Felix) too / as well / with you"?
May 2, 2017 at 15:24 comment added jarnbjo @Alone-zee You are right and Torsten is wrong. The past participle of separable verbs is not separated. It is also not up to the writer to decide ('often divided'?) if a verb should be separated or not. Either the verb is separable and the prefix must be separated from the verb where required, or the verb is not separable and the prefix stays with the verb in all positions.

May 2, 2017 at 6:32 comment added Con-gras-tue-les-chiens Thanks. I'm surprised here. I was under the impression that you can separate "nimmt mit" etc but you cannot do the same with the past participle "mitgenommen".
