Phrasal Verbs

- Phrasal Verbs = combination of a verb and a preposition 
- in, on, up, away, by, about, over, around, out, off, down, back, 
   through, along, forward

- Sometimes the meaning is as clear as day: "get on", "drive off", "come back"
- Sometimes it is not as much: "lay off" (ontslaan), "keep up" (volhouden)
- Will post a list of the most common phrasal verbs in Teams

What are prepositions again?

Bob the Canadian will explain...

watch the following video on phrasal verbs: verb+preposition

With a phrasal verb in a sentence you know that something being done or there is movement.

There is an ACTION taking place.

Watch the video and write down all the phrasal verbs Bob shows

Gerund or infinitive

Gerund or infinitive

The gerund is a form of a verb used as a noun 

Gerund = verb+ing 

The infinitive is the verb with to

infinitive= to +verb

When do we use the Gerund?

a When it is a subject:   Swimming is fun

b After prepositions (about, in, off, at, of, without, by, before):

   He left without paying

c After certain expressions (it's no use, it's no good, can't help, can’t stand)

   It's no use arguing

d After the following verbs  - give up, go on, mind, fancy, finish, quit, suggest, 

I quit playing that game.

f After the following verbs that express how you feel about something- and when the activitiy is done on a regular basis: like, hate, enjoy, love, remember, prefer, start, continue, keep, begin and stop

I enjoy swimming

to-infinitive

In all other case you use the infinitive  (to + verb) after the following verbs: like, hate, enjoy, love, remember, prefer, start, continue, keep, begin en stop:

I would love to swim.

He hates to tell you it won't happen.

The Verb: Remember

The verb remember is a special case:

If you use the gerund after the verb remember you refer to the past: remember fishing on the lake, those were good times. 

If you use the infinitive after the verb remember you are referring to something that still needs to take place: 

Remember to walk the dog when you get home.

  I clearly remember telling him this. 

Ik herinner me nog duidelijk dat ik hem dit heb verteld.

 I must remember to phone him.
