Libro Phrasal Verbs PDF

UNA MANERA DIFERENTE DE APRENDER UNOS 100 PHRASAL VERBS COMUNES
Get through with es terminar; get over es superar; get out es

marcharse, catch up with es, entre otras cosas, ponerse al da, etc.
La pesadilla de las phrasal verbs!
Cmo recordarlas?
Este tipo de frases compuestas no existe en Espaol. El mismo verbo aplicado con
diferentes preposiciones puede tomar diversos significados. Fjate bien en la
cantidad de phrasal verbs que te encuentras leyendo o viendo una pelcula en
ingls.
Los libros tradicionales solo explican los significados. No es fcil recordarlas por su
simple definicin. Te acuerdas de todas las palabras que has buscado en el
diccionario? Claro que no.
Este libro se basa en la traduccin literal del verbo y la preposicin; lo original es
que se asocia un dibujo representativo y fcil de recordar a cada phrasal verb.
Se han traducido algunas descripcines literalmente del ingls al espaol para que
resulten ms fcil de recordar.

Veamos unos ejemplos:

PAGE 3
Antes de empezar, unas simples reglas gramaticales importantes:

Hay dos tipos de phrasal verbs; separables e inseparables.
Con los separable phrasal verbs, se puede poner el complemento entre el

verbo y la preposicin:
He put the jacket on. = Se puso la chaqueta.
O despus de la preposicin:
He put on the jacket. = Se puso la chaqueta.
El complemento es the jacket.
Pero, si el complemento es un pronombre como him o it, debe ir siempre

entre el verbo y la preposicin.
He put it on = Se la puso.
PAGE 4
Por otro lado, con las phrasal verbs inseparables el complemento debe de ir
siempre despus de la preposicin indiferentemente si es pronombre o no.
I have to care for my grandmother. = Tengo que cuidar a mi abuela.
El complemento es my grandmother.
I have to care for her. = Tengo que cuidarla.
I have to care her for.
Cuando una frase tiene dos complementos, deben de ir siempre separados.

I can't put the painting on the wall. = No puedo poner la pintura en la pared.
I can't put on the painting the wall.
PAGE 5
Repaso:
Phrasal verb separable puede tener el complemento entre el verbo y la
preposicin: (put the hat on/put on the hat).
Eye:
Si el complemento es pronombre (him, it, that) slo se puede poner el
complemento entre el verbo y la preposicin:
(put it on, nunca put on it).
Inseparables, un complemento debe de ir siempre despus de la preposicin:

(look for the jacket o look for it).
Eye:
Pero si hay 2 complementos pones el complemento directo despus del verbo:
(ask him)
y el indirecto despus de la preposicin:
ask him for the jacket. = Pdele la chaqueta (a l).
