PHRASAL VERBS Cụm Động Từ – lớp 12
PHRASAL VERBS
Introduction
A/ Trong tiếng Anh hiện đại, người ta hay dùng một hay hai particle (giới từ hay trạng từ ) sau động từ để có được sự khác nhau về ý nghĩa. Ví dụ: – give away = give sth to someone/anyone (Cho ai, tặng ai cái gì )
= to make known sth that sb wants to keep secret (thổ lộ, tiết lộ ra, tố giác ra )
– give up = abandon (a habit or attempt) (từ bỏ một thói quen, một nổ lực …)
– look after = take care of (Chăm sóc)
– look for = search for, seek (tìm kiếm)
– look out = beware (Hãy cẩn thận, coi chừng )
B/ có hai loại:
a/ intransitive phrasal verbs (không có object)
EX: The plane will take off at 15:00.
b/ Transitive phrasal verbs (có object – danh từ hoặc đại từ )
+ Inseparable transitive phrasal verbs (Pharsal verbs không thể tách ra – Object luôn ở sau particle)
Ex: We are looking for my key. (Wrong: We are looking my key for )
+ Separable transitive phrasal verbs (Pharsal verbs có thể tách ra )
Phrasal verbs thường có thể tách được khi particles l: on, off, up, down, in, out, away
Nếu Object l danh từ, nó có thể đặt ở sau hay giữa phrasal verbs)
Ex: Remember to turn off the lights when going out.

Nếu Object l một đại từ (me, us, it, them, you him, her …) thi nó luôn
được đặt ở giữa phrsal verb )
Ex: Please turn it off. (Wrong: Please turn off it )
