Phrasal verbs, são o que em português podemos chamar de ‘verbos frasais’ são verbos acompanhados por preposições ou advérbios e que, por conseguinte, alteram parcial ou integralmente o significado original do verbo. Esses frasal verbs podem, inclusive, ser considerados expressões idiomática, pode de início soarem como gírias; contudo, são utilizados na desde a linguagem cotidiana informal ou não, bem como, em diálogos formais.
Para exemplificar, podemos pensar no verbo chop (corta, picar, talhar), o qual adquire outros significados quando tem o acréscimo de preposição ou advérbio:
Chop down: derrubar, cortar
Chop up: cortar em pedaços
Os frasal verbs não podem ser traduzidos literalmente. O recomentado é se utilizar em diálogos dessas estruturas para aumentar a capacidade de assimilação, tão importantes que existem dicionário e compêndios de vocabulário especificamente de frasal verbs
USO GRAMATICAL DE PHRASAL VERBS
Na gramática da língua inglesa, há casos em que os phrasal verb admite a colocação do objeto entre o verbo e a partícula (pronome ou advérbio). Noutros casos, eles não são permitidos.
Destarte, eles são classificados de dois modos:
Separable: representam os verbos que acompanham complementos (objetos). Nesse caso, os verbos exigem a colocação do objeto entre o verbo e a preposição sempre que o objeto for um pronome.
Inseparable: nesse caso, os verbos são chamados de prepositional verbs (verbos preposicionados) e geralmente não aceitam complemento. Ou seja, eles não permitem a colocação do objeto entre o verbo e a preposição.
