¡Ten cuidado, los phrasal verbs son parte de las cosas básicas que debes saber si quieres mejorar tu vocabulario en inglés!
¿Qué es un verbo compuesto (phrasal verbs)? En inglés, esto se llama un verbo compuesto. Como su nombre lo indica, es un verbo compuesto por el verbo al que agregamos una partícula adverbial como:
- away
- back
- up / down
- in / out
- on / off
- through
- about
- round
- over
- by
- forward
- along
Por lo tanto, esta partícula adverbial modifica el significado del verbo o le da más precisión. Un ejemplo:
- to run → correr
- to run for → ser candidato, preséntarse
- to run out → quedarse sin
Otro ejemplo:
- to put → poner
- to put off → posponer
- to put away → ordenar
Las partículas adverbiales también pueden modificar completamente el significado del verbo:
- to give → dar
- to give up → rendirse
Algunas veces el phrasal verb es seguido por una preposición:
- to run away from → huir de
- to keep up with → mantenerse al día con
- to look up at → mirar algo / alguien
- to look forward to → esperar a
⚠️ El objeto generalmente se puede colocar antes o después de la partícula:
- Turn off the light please = Turn the light off please → Apaga la luz por favor
- Turn over the paper = Turn the paper over → Dar vuelta la hoja
⚠️ Cuando el complemento es un pronombre (me, it, him, her, them), debe estar entre el verbo y la partícula:
- Turn it off! → ¡Apágalo! (y no Turn off it!)
- Turn it over! → ¡Dale la vuelta! (y no Turn over it!)
⚠️ ¡Un verbo compuesto a veces puede tener varios significados!
