Os phrasal Verbs são bastante importante na língua inglesa. Com eles, muitas vezes, encontramos formas rápidas, precisas e atuais de nos expressarmos. Vamos agora dar uma olhada em alguns conceitos básicos, que são úteis para um bom domínio do assunto.

Os verbos frasais em inglês podem ser classificados em “separáveis” e “inseparáveis”.

1. Separáveis: sempre aceitam objetos. Existem dois tipos de frasais separáveis:

a. Os que você separa se quiser.

Pick up your toy. ou Pick your toy up. [Pegue seu brinquedo.]
Throw away the papers. ou Throw the papers away. [Jogue os papéis fora.]

b. Os que você tem que separar. Só admitem o objeto (complemento) entre o verbo e a partícula.

Exemplo:

Bad weather gets people down. [O tempo ruim deprime as pessoas.] -> Não diga “gets down people”.

Observação importante: em frasais separáveis, tipos (a) ou (b), o pronome objeto (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) sempre deve ser usado entre o verbo e a partícula.

Ex.: pick it up, throw them away, get them down, etc.

Não diga, por exemplo, “pick up it“, “get down them“, etc.

2. Inseparáveis – podem ser divididos entre os que:

a. Aceitam objetos

I’m looking after the kids. [Estou cuidando das crianças.]
I turn to you. [Eu recorro a você.]
We are rooting for her. [Nós estamos torcendo por ela.]

b. Não aceitam objetos.

The robbers got away. [Os ladrões escaparam.]
The employees get up. [Os funcionários se levantam.]
The show must go on. [O show deve continuar.]
