Después de aprender Some / Any / No, en esta lección aprenderemos Phrasal Verbs.
What Is a Phrasal Verb?
Un Phrasal Verbs (verbo compuesto) es una frase que se compone de un verbo y otra palabra o dos, generalmente una preposición pero a veces un adverbio.
Entonces, antes de que podamos hablar sobre los verbos compuestos en inglés, es importante entender qué son los verbos, preposiciones y adverbios.
- Un verbo es una palabra de acción. Describe algo que sucede (por ejemplo, escuchar, ver), un estado del ser (por ejemplo, vivir, dormir) o una acción que se realiza (por ejemplo, leer, cantar).
- Una preposición es una palabra que describe la relación entre dos palabras. Por ejemplo, las abejas están encima de la mesa o debajo de la mesa, pero no dentro de la mesa (con suerte). Las preposiciones se refieren principalmente a la ubicación o dirección (por ejemplo, en, a través, alrededor) y el tiempo (por ejemplo, «por» o «alrededor» en un momento determinado).
- Un adverbio es una palabra que describe un verbo. Por ejemplo, puedes correr rápido o lento y llegar a clase temprano o tarde.
Ahora que sabe qué son los verbos y las preposiciones, está listo para comenzar a juntarlos en verbos compuestos.
