Oh negcio estranho de aprender!
Muitas vezes nos deparamos com locues verbais em formas um pouco diferentes do comum, como no caso de get in e sit down, por exemplo. Esses tipos de locues ocorrem predominantemente nos casos de verbos de origem anglo-saxnica. Esses so casos de phrasal verbs, ou seja, verbos que so formados pela juno de um verbo com uma preposio ou um advrbio.
Ex: sit (verbo) + down (advrbio) = sit down (sentar)
get (verbo) + in (preposio) = get in (entrar)
Muitas vezes, o phrasal verb facilmente identificado como nos casos apresentados anteriormente. Porm existem alguns casos que relativamente complicado dizer o significado de um phrasal verb como hold up (atrasar).
Na verdade, os phrasal verbs possuem um ar de informalidade, de gria, porm se tornaram algo fundamental at mesmo no mbito formal e principalmente na hora de praticar o ingls falado no dia-dia. Por isso, necessrio que o estudante tenha conhecimento de pelo menos os phrasal verbs essenciais:
