英文文法動詞－片語動詞篇

1. 片語動詞是由"動詞"及做為副詞使用的”介系詞”所組成

Phrasal verbs have two parts: a main verb and an adverb particle. The most common adverb particles used to form phrasal verbs are around, at, away, down, in, off, on, out, over, round, up, e.g.

• bring in
• go around
• look up
• put away
• take off

2. 單獨看片語動詞中的字時，通常無法理解完整意思

Phrasal verbs often have meanings which we cannot easily guess from their individual parts, e.g.

• The book first came out in 1997. (was published)
• The plane took off an hour late. (flew into the air)
• The lecture went on till 6.30. (continued)
• It’s difficult to make out what she's saying. (hear/understand)

3. 片語動詞在使用上通常比單一動詞較不正式

Phrasal verbs are often less formal than a single word with the same meaning. Compare:

• Phrasal verb: We need to sort the problem out .
Vs.
• More formal single word: We need to solve/resolve the problem.


• Phrasal verb: The team only had an hour to put the stage up before the concert.
Vs.
• More formal single word: The team only had an hour to erect/construct the stage before the concert.
