PHRASAL VERBS

Você sabiam que os Phrasal Verbs fazem parte de um dos pilares base da Língua Inglesa? Gosto de dizer que os Phrasal Verbs não são apenas um verbo acompanhado de uma

ppreposição onde você faz uma junção e outro significado nasce, eles são mais que isso.

Quando entendemos seu uso, suas regras, tudo fica mais fácil além de seu Inglês ficar mais fluente e correto diante das situações.

Outro ponto importante é que os phrasal verbs estão em todo lugar. Sejam em revistas, jojornais, sites, blogs, comunidades, fóruns,

redes sociais, ou seja, em tudo que você for ler, escutar, escrever em Inglês, eles estarão lá.Acredito que seja quase impossível você bater um papo com um americano ou estrangeiro sem fazer uso de um phrasal verb. Seu Inglês soaria muito formal, antigo, ou até mesmo eestranho, algo de outro planeta até mesmo

para os nativos do idioma.Por este motivo reuni para vocês, neste livro,

O que são “Phrasal Verbs”?

Um "phrasal verb" é a combinação de um verbo com uma partícula (que normalmente é

uma ou duas preposições). Mudando esta partícula, o significado normal do verbo muda.

Por exemplo, você tem o verbo "go", que normalmente significa "ir". Juntando-o com

"down”, significa “descer”. Já o “phrasal verb”, "to go down with" significa "ficar

doente/pegar alguma doença”.

Existe uma infinidade de “phrasal verbs”. Quanto mais a pessoa ler em inglês, mais fácil fica

reconhecer o significado destes verbos. Memorizar l istas pouco adianta, o melhor mesmo é

ver os verbos num contexto.

Um detalhe importante sobre os “phrasal verbs” é que alguns deles são separáveis, ou seja,

você pode colocar o objeto direto/indireto entre o verbo e a partícula. Outros são

inseparáveis. Como saber qual é qual? Estudando-os! Não tem jeito! Por isso criei este l ivro

para ajudá-los.

Aqui vocês encontrarão os “phrasal verbs” mais usados na língua Inglesa de A a Z,

potencializando muito mais seus estudos e deixando-os mais confiantes ao falar com

nativos ou falantes avançados da língua.

Como utilizar este livro.

Há diversas maneiras de estudar “phrasal verbs”, porém, quero te sugerir 3 passos para

potencializar seus estudos:

1- Ouvir e repetir (Treinará seu “listening e speaking”)

2- Ler em voz alta (Treinará seu “speaking”)

3- Pensar em situações para usar e montar frases (Treinará sua fluência)
