São Paulo - As phrasal verbs, construções combinando um verbo com partículas e que adquirem um significado diferente, são um grande desafio para os estudantes da língua inglesa.

O verbo “work” significa “trabalhar”, “out” significa “fora”, mas “work out”, juntos, significa “exercitar-se” (e não “trabalhar fora”), por exemplo. Algumas expressões são mais comuns e mais fáceis de entender. Outras podem juntar mais palavras, como em "put up with" e "make up for", e confundir quem está aprendendo.
