Bài tập trắc nghiệm Cụm động từ trong tiếng Anh

I. Lý thuyết Cụm động từ

1. Cụm động từ (Phrasal verb) là gì?

Cụm động từ (Phrasal Verb) là sự kết hợp của một động từ với trạng từ (adverb) hoặc giới từ (preposition) để tạo thành một cụm động từ với nghĩa đặc biệt và khó đoán.

Phần lớn các cụm động từ (Phrasal Verb) tường được dùng trong đàm thoại, thay cho những từ cùng nghĩa nhưng nghe có vẻ trịnh trọng hơn. Chúng ta cũng có thể dùng cụm động từ trong lối viết thân mật dành cho bạn bè và người thân.

Để sử dụng cụm động từ cho đúng ngữ pháp tiếng Anh, chúng ta cần biết những điều sau:

• Cụm động từ có thể là ngoại động từ (transitive) hoặc nội động từ (intransitive) hoặc đôi lúc chúng có thể được sử dụng theo hai cách.

• Một số cụm động từ có tân ngữ có thể tách rời động từ và trạng từ: nếu tân ngữ là danh từ thì ta có thể đặt tân ngữ ở trước hoặc sau trạng từ.

• Các cụm động từ có ba (verb + adverb + preposition) thành phần thường có nghĩa đặc biệt không thể tách rời.
