PICKING PHRASAL VERBS UP

Publicat el 2 d'abril de 2014 per ealonso
Resposta de l´endevinalla del darrer apunt. 

What training do you need to become a rubbish collector?

None, you PICK it UP as you go alongAquí trobem un joc entre dos significats de PICK UP :

Un és el de recollir (picked up all the pieces), l´altra és ” to acquire by study or

experience”

3r. “Must” que hem de saber per  aprendre a usar Phrasal Verbs.

La major part dels verbs  transitius són separables, és a dir, podem col.locar

l´objecte directe  entre el verb i la partícula.

Pick up the rubbish . Pick the rubbish up.

Què vol dir transitiu? 

A banda del seu  significat filosòfic de transcendent, transitiu  vol dir que passa

de l´un a l´altre .

 

4t.” Must” que hem de saber per aprendre a usar el Phrasal Verbs

Quan l´objecte  és un pronom , es col.loca davant de la partícula:

Pick it up. ( the rubbish)

Endevinalla (riddle)

Wife: Did you ……. the cat OUT,  dear?

Sarcastic Husband: No. Was it on fire?
