Olyan különleges, vonzatos igék, amiknél a vonzat hozzáadásával egy teljesen új jelentéssel ruházzuk fel az adott szót. Például:

   to look = nézni

   to look for = keresni (=to search)

   to look after = vigyázni valamire (=to take care of)

Phrasal verbs

Érdemes figyelni rá, hogy nem minden ige phrasal verb attól, hogy van vonzat mögötte. Például a to look at nem változtatja meg az eredeti szó jelentését, ez csak egy prepozíciós ige.

Phrasal verbs (folytatás)

Borzasztóan népszerű ezen szavak használata, és az élő nyelvben sokkal szívesebben használják a Phrasal Verb verziókat az egyező jelentéső szavakhoz képest, így fontos, hogy mi is elsajátítsuk használatukat.

Képzésük természetesen tartalmaz logikát, de nekünk, nem natív nyelvhasználóknak nehéz ezt értelmezni. Valahogy úgy tudnám megfogalmazni, hogy a vonzattal egyfajta "irányt" adunk az adott szónak. Pl: to make up = felépít

Illik-e?

Érdekesség, hogy hiába trendi, és viszonylag új topik, a Phrasal Verb-ök használata nem számít szlengnek, így akár hivatalos helyen is használhatóak. ;)
