A maioria chama de Phrasal verbs; outros
denominam Multi-words verbs. São normalmente frases de 2 ou mais palavras,
constando de Verb + Adverb ou Verb + Preposition ou Verb + Adverb +
Preposition. Nem todo mundo consegue memorizá-los...como
fazer isso? Treinando sempre ao falar com alguém. Aquele verbo que você sabe
usar muito bem pode ser trocado por um multi-word verb facilmente por umnativo
durante um bate-papo.
Lembre: os Multi-word
Verbs SÃO considerados verbos
com significados próprios.

Inseparáveis
Phrasal Verbs –
