Compound German verbs based on "teilen" (Part one)

We have already learned that a lot of german verbs are formed by adding different prefixes to a basic verb. For example: Verbs based on "ziehen"verbs based on "lassen".
So I recommend you not only to learn the basic verb but to try to memorize all the other verbs that have the same root.
Today we will learn compound verbs based on "teilen". The notes "sep." and "insep." in the parenthesis stand for "separable" and "inseparable" and refer to the prefixes.

Ich teile mein Essen mit dir - I share my food with you
