PHRASAL VERBS
PHRASAL
VERBS
Phrasal verbs are
"compound verbs" that consist of two or three words. The first word
is always a common verb and the second may be an adverb or a preposition. The latter
component is also called a particle.
CHARACTERISTICS PHRASAL
VERBS.
1. Many times a Phrasal Verb
can be replaced by another verb, but it must be taken into account that a
phrasal verb is used more in spoken English and common verbs are used in formal
writing.
I came back tired and hungry
He returned to Mexico three
years later
The 2 previous examples show
that the use of a phrasal verb come back as a common verb to return mean to return, but are used in different
contexts.
2. Some particles retain
their meaning, even when used with different verbs.
I'll call you back later
She wrote to him but he
never wrote back.
Carry
on
with your work
They stayed on for another week at the hotel
Drink
up!
We have to go
Eat
up
all your vegetables. They are good for you
In the previous examples we
can note that the back, on and up particles maintain their meaning despite their
uses with different verbs. why:
Back indicates that something is returned (a
call, a letter).
On indicates that a sense of continuity is
given to the verbs.
Up indicates that
something is completely over.

Present Progressive
Present Continuous or Progressive
The present
Continuous or Present Progressive is a verbal time that is used to express
actions that happen at the same moment in which it is speaking, for example:
I
am speaking English.
You are reading a book.
He is studying the lesson.
She is buying a hat.
It is raining.
We are sleeping.
You are dancing in the street.
They are walking in the park.
You are reading a book.
He is studying the lesson.
She is buying a hat.
It is raining.
We are sleeping.
You are dancing in the street.
They are walking in the park.
This verb tense is
constructed using the present simple as indicative of the verb To be as main
verb in the infinitive with the ending ING, as we see below:
About my self
About myself
My
name is Carlos Andres Gómez Trujillo, I'm thirty-one years old, I'm studying
fifth semester Industrial Technology in logistics.
I am
currently living in the second stage of the Barrio San Jorge of the City of
Neiva in the department of huila. I am married, I have two children and I work
in a private security company "Atlas Security".
My hobbies are to enjoy free time with my family, listen to music, watch TV and
practice my favorite sport.
Speaking
English a few years ago was a pleasure, but nowadays it has become a necessity
to improve in life on a personal and work level.
