Nello studio della lingua inglese prima o poi ogni studente incontra l’ostacolo dei Phrasal Verbs. Sono veramente molto numerosi e padroneggiarli (almeno i più diffusi) dà sicuramente una marcia in più al proprio inglese.
Con Phrasal Verbs si intende l’unione di un verbo ed una o più preposizioni o avverbi che così combinati assumono un significato completamente nuovo rispetto al verbo di origine.
Osserva il brano seguente:
Host: Hello! Enter!
Guest: Thank you. Just let me extinguish my cigarette.
Host: Sure.
Guest: Shall I remove my shoes?
Host: No, it’s all right. You can continue to wear them. How was the first week in your
new job?
Guest: Well, I have a very good relationship with my colleagues. But my new boss is
very mean.
Host: I see that you look a bit upset. But I have some news that will make you feel
happier.
Guest: Really?
Host: Yes. I unexpectedly found some photos of our holiday in Spain. Have a look.
Guest: Oh great. That will help me to stop feeling upset.
Ora sostituiamo le espressioni in grassetto con dei Phrasal Verbs:
Host: Hello! Come in!
Guest: Thank you. Just let me put out my cigarette.
Host: Sure.
Guest: Shall I take off my shoes?
Host: No, it’s all right. You can keep them on. How was the first week in your new job?
Guest: Well, I get on very well with my colleagues. But my new boss is very mean.
Host: I see that you look a bit upset. But I have some news that will cheer you up.
Guest: Really?
Host: Yes. I came across some photos of our holiday in Spain. Have a look.
Guest: Oh great. That will help me to calm down.
Decisamente diverso, no?
