Phrasal Verbs

Oii pessoal, estava revendo meus arquivos de estudo hoje, encontrei um material muito bom de estudo e resolvi compartilhar aqui com vocês. Nós sabemos que uma das maiores dificuldades que qualquer estrangeiro tem em aprender o inglês dos norte-americanos é em relação aos Phrasal Verbs.

O que são eles?

Phrasal Verbs são verbos especiais em inglês que, geralmente, são compostos por mais de uma palavra e não seguem uma tradução ao pé da letra para o português. Os phrasal verbs tornam a linguagem inglesa um pouco mais informal, e estão presentes em diversas situações do dia a dia. Aprendendo a usá-los seu vocabulário fica muito mais rico, e também fica mais fácil entender várias expressões cotidianas.
