INGLESE Phrasal Verbs

Content

Phrasal and prepositional verbs present a series of challenges to Italians who learn English because their meaning is often entirely different from that of the separate parts that make up these verbs.

This thorough, conceptual handbook is designed to make understanding and using two-word verbs easy for the learner.

It offers an effective new method based on the division of such verbs by particle, grouped into their various meanings.

The work relies on copious examples and situations to further clarify phrasal-verb meaning.

These examples become a vital aid to memory.

• a different approach to understanding phrasal and prepositional verbs by interpreting the meaning of the prepositions, adverbs, and verb particles
• 65 in-depth outlines of meanings, senses, and correspondences to Italian verbs
• more than 700 examples from the living language show two-word verbs in their natural context and highlight their constructions
• index of model verbs for the different verbal meanings of the particles
