GRAMMAR
Phrasal verbs
En inglés hay un número muy extenso de verbos cuya característica principal es que van
acompañados de diferentes partículas que dan sentidos distintos al verbo.
Estos verbos se denominan “phrasal verbs” o “prepositional verbs”, dependiendo su nombre
de la partícula que acompaña al verbo, es decir, si es una preposición o un adverbio.
Un mismo verbo puede ir acompañado de distintas partículas y, en cada caso, su significado
global varía.
Conviene comparar las diferentes partículas de cada verbo y los significados que resultan de
su empleo.
Las ideas básicas que implican estas partículas son:
Away idea de alejar, de marcharse
Back idea de hacia atrás,
idea de volver a hacer algo
Down idea de bajar
In idea de entrar
Off idea de desprenderse,
cortar, cerrar
On idea de continuar
Out idea de sacar, salir, apagar
Over idea de acabar, cruzar
Through idea de a través de
Up idea de arriba
Veámoslo tomando como ejemplo el verbo “to go”:
To go up subir
To go down bajar
To go back volver
To go in entrar
Como cualquier otro verbo, normalmente estos verbos van seguidos de un complemento, del
tipo que sea.
En el caso de los “phrasal verbs”, el complemento puede ir situado después de la partícula o
entre el verbo y ésta.

Relative pronouns
Los pronombre relativos, al igual que en español, se usan para referirse o describir algo o
alguien que ha sido mencionado antes.
The woman who lives in that house is my friend.
La mujer que (la cual) vive en esa casa es mi amiga.
En este caso, el “who lives in that house” describe “the woman” a quien se refiere el hablante.
En español, los pronombres relativos son: el cual, la cual, los cuales, las cuales y que (cuando
puede ser sustituido por alguno de los anteriores).
En inglés estos pronombres son: “who”, “which” y “that”.
Who: “who” se usa para introducir una oración de relativo que habla de una persona, es
decir, cuando a lo que se refiere el hablante es una persona.
She is the girl who knows David.
Which: “which” se usa para introducir una frase de relativo cuyo referente es una cosa,
lugar, animal, ...
This is the river which passes through town.
That: “that” se puede utilizar tanto para cosas como para personas.
This is the river that passes through town.
