ITRASITIVE/ITRASITIVE PHRASAL VERBS
A
transitive verb
is one that requires a
direct object
to complete its meaning.
It answers the question
"what?"
or
"whom?"
after the verb.
The verb expresses an action that directly affects something or someone.
A
phrasal verb
is a combination of a verb and one or more particles (which can be prepositions or adverbs) that, when joined together, create a meaning different from the original verb. Phrasal verbs are common in colloquial English and can have multiple meanings, depending on the combination and the context.
TRASITIVE PHRASAL VERBS
"Turn off" – Apagar
"Please turn off the lights." (Por favor, apaga las luces.)
"Pick up" – Recoger
"Could you pick up the kids after school?"
(¿Podrías recoger a los niños después de la escuela?)
"Put off" – Posponer
"They put off the meeting."
(Pospusieron la reunión.)
"Give up" – Rendirse o dejar de hacer algo
"She gave up her job to travel." (Ella dejó su trabajo para viajar.)
"Look up" – Buscar (información)
"I’ll look up that word in the dictionary."
(Buscaré esa palabra en el diccionario.)
Separable vs. Inseparable Transitive Phrasal Verbs
Separable: The object can go between the verb and the particle or after both. Example: "Turn off the light" or "Turn the light off."
Inseparable: The object must follow the entire phrasal verb. Example: "Look after your dog" (Cuidar de tu perro).
ITRASITIVE PHRASAL VERBS
"Wake up" – Despertarse
"She usually wakes up at 7 AM."
(Normalmente se despierta a las 7 a.m.)
"Break down" – Averiarse o descomponerse
"My car broke down on the way to work." (Mi coche se averió camino al trabajo.)
"Pass away" – Fallecer
"Her grandmother passed away last year."
(Su abuela falleció el año pasado.)
"Show up" – Aparecer o llegar
"He didn’t show up to the meeting."
(No apareció en la reunión.)
"Grow up" – Crecer o madurar
"I grew up in a small town."
(Crecí en un pueblo pequeño.)
intransitive phrasal verbs are inseparable
Some phrasal verbs can be both transitive and intransitive, depending on the context in which they are used.
Run down
As an intransitive verb:
"The battery ran down." (La batería se agotó.)
Aquí, "ran down" significa "agotarse" y no necesita objeto directo.
"He ran down the list of names." (Repasó la lista de nombres.)
En este caso, "ran down" significa "repasar" y requiere el objeto directo "the list of names".
Intransitive phrasal verbs are phrasal verbs that do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. This means they make sense on their own without needing something or someone to receive the action. The meaning of an intransitive phrasal verb is self-contained in the verb-particle combination.
