Phrasal Verb
Phrasal Verb là cụm động từ. Công thức:
ĐỘNG TỪ + TIỂU TỪ (giới từ hoặc trạng từ)
Với một động từ có sẵn, chỉ cần thêm một giới từ hoặc trạng từ ở phía sau
thì Phrasal Verb được tạo thành sẽ có nghĩa hồn tồn khác.
Ví dụ: động từ “take” có nghĩa là lấy
Take off: cất cánh, thăng tiến nhanh
Take on: nhận trách nhiệm
Take in: hiểu
2. Cách dùng Phrasal Verb là gì?
a. Nội động từ
Khơng có tân ngữ theo sau
Ví dụ: My car broke down yesterday. Broke down (đã bị hư) là nội
động từ nên khơng có tân ngữ theo sau.
b. Ngoại động từ
Có tân ngữ theo sau. Tuy nhiên tân ngữ có thể nằm ở nhiều vị trí khác
nhau
Trường hợp 1: tân ngữ nằm giữa động từ và tiểu từ hoặc nằm sau
tiểu từ
He took off his hat and sat down. He took his hat off and sat down. (Anh
ấy đã cởi mũ ra và ngồi xuống.)
Trường hợp 2: tân ngữ là đại từ thì bắt buộc phải nằm giữa động từ
và tiểu từ
He realised he was wearing a hat indoors, so he took it off. (Anh ấy nhận
ra mình đang đội mũ trong nhà, vì vậy anh ấy cởi nó ra.)
Lưu ý:
Một số Phrasal Verbs có thể là nội động từ hoặc ngoại động từ với các ý
nghĩa khác nhau tùy thuộc vào ngữ cảnh sử dụng.
