  1. WHAT ARE PHRASAL VERBS? Paula Sanz Castillo Arancha Zubia Robledano 1º Bach C

  2. They are verbs with prepositional or adverbial particles. Phrasal verbs are made up of more than one part. • Some common examples are: • Putoff: (quitarse…) • Look up: (consultar, buscar, ir a ver) • Take in: (dar cobijo a, alojar, recoger…) • Get out of: (librarse de, dejar, perder la costumbre) • Turn down: (rechazar, no aceptar, denegar, bajar, doblar) • Keep together: (mantenerse juntos, no separarse)

  3. A phrasalverbcreates a meaningdifferentfromthe original verb. • Example: I ran into my teacher at the movies last night. run + into = meet He ran away when he was 15. run + away = leave home

  4. There are no rules that might explain how phrasal verbs are formed correctly. All you can do is look them up in a good dictionary and study their meanings. • LA ÚNICA FORMA DE APRENDER EL SIGNIFICADO ES DE MEMORIA. • Example: Egg on: animar, incitar.

  5. Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. An intransitive verb cannot be followed by an object. • Example:He suddenly showed up. "show up" cannot take an object • *show up: hacer resaltar, destacar, dejar en ridículo, poner en evidencia, notarse,

  6. Some phrasal verbs are transitive. A transitive verb can be followed by an object. • Example:I made upthe story. "story" is the object of "make up“ • *make up: inventar, componer, hacer, formar, representar, maquillar, hacer las paces.

  7. Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object is placed between the verb and the preposition. • Example:I talkedmy mother into letting me borrow the car.She lookedthe phone number up. • *look up: consultar, buscar, ir a ver.

  8. Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. The object is placed after the preposition. • Example:I ran intoan old friend yesterday.They are looking intothe problem. • *look into: investigar. • *ran into:encontrarse a alguien por sorpresa.

  9. WARNING! Although many phrasal verbs can take an object in both places, you must put the object between the verb and the preposition if the object is a pronoun. • Example:I lookedthe number up in the phone book.I looked upthe number in the phone book. • I lookeditup in the phone book. correctI looked upitin the phone book. incorrect
