PHRASAL VERBS

1. what is?

   • Phrasal verbs are verbal structures composed of two particles: verb + adjective, adverb or preposition that serves to define specific actions or states.
     • Types of phrasal verbs
       • Phrasal verbs intransitivos
         • The action does not fall on a direct object because it only affects the subject of the sentence.
       • Phrasal verbs transitivos inseparables
         • As a transitive verb, the action falls on the direct object. They are called inseparable because the sum verb + adjective, adverb or preposition must always appear without alterations of any kind.
           • Examples
             • Break down
               • Descomponer
       • Phrasal verbs transitivos separables
         • Again, since they are transitive, the action falls on the direct object. However, they are called separable because said direct object can be placed between the verb and the adjective, adverb or preposition.
