dùng Whom)

week Câu 1 : Xá c định từ giố ng
Xem có dù ng dấ u “,” khô ng
Câu 2: Thay từ giố ng bằ ng “who / whom = ngườ i”/
“which = vậ t” , “ where= nơi chố n” , “ when= t.gian”
“whose = sở hữ u”
Mary is a good teacher. Whom I saw last B2: Đem “ Who/ which..” ra đầu câu 2
week
Mary, whom I saw last week, is a good teacher B3. Đem ca câu 2 đặt sau từ giống ở câu 1 và ghi
phần còn lại câu 1 ( nếu có )

2 vị trí đứng: She is the woman who/whom/ that I told you
- Giới từ đứng trước đại từ quan hệ hoặc giới từ about.
đứng sau động từ.
- Lưu ý: Giới từ không đứng trước đại từ quan Ex2:Did you find the world which you were
hệ “ who và that” looking up ?
- Khi giới từ là thành phần của cụm động từ thì (NOT : _____the world up which you were looking ?
không thể đem giới từ ra trước “whom, which, )
whose” Ex3: The woman without whom I can’t live is
- Giới từ “ WITHOUT”không được đặt sau động từ Jane
mà phải đặt trước đại từ quan hệ. ( NOT : The woman whom can’t live without is
Jane )

+ am/is/are/was/were + V-ing there,is my best friend.
+V1/Vs/es => That man,standing over there,is

+has/have + V3/ed
=> Bỏ ĐTQH,Bỏ trợ động từ nếu có,Động từ chính => V-ing

+am/is/are/was/were + V3/ed accident was taken to the hospital
+have/has + been + V3/ed =>The boy injured in the accident
=> Bỏ ĐTQH, Bỏ trợ động từ nếu có,Động từ chính => V-3/ED was taken to the hospital
Khi đại từ quan hệ làm chủ ngữ đứng sau E.g: He was the last man who left the
“first/last/second/only/next/one/dạng so sánh nhất hoặc burning building.
để chỉ much đích,sự cho phép => Bỏ ĐTQH, Bỏ trợ động từ => He was the last man to leave the
nếu có burning building.
Động từ chính => To-V( chủ động) E.g This is the second person who was
Động từ chính => to be V3/ed ( bị động) killed in that way
=> This is the second person to be
killed in that way

N /cụm N/cụm giới từ sport,ivery good for health.
=> Bỏ ĐTQH, Bỏ be => Football, a popular sport,ivery good

MODULE 23 : PHRASAL VERBS

I. Định nghĩa
Cụ m độ ng từ (Phrasal verbs) là sự kết hợ p giữ a mộ t độ ng từ và mộ t từ nhỏ (particle). Từ nhỏ , particle(s),
nà y có thể là mộ t trạ ng từ (adverb), hay là mộ t giớ i từ (preposition), hoặ c là cả hai:
Ví dụ: My father gave up smoking 3 years ago. (Bố tô i bỏ thuố c lá 3 nă m trướ c.)
II. Cách dùng
PHRASAL VERBS CÓ THỂ ĐÓNG VAI TRÒ LÀ:
- Ngoạ i độ ng từ (transitive): theo sau là mộ t danh từ hoặ c là mộ t cụ m danh từ vớ i chứ c nă ng là tú c từ
(object) củ a độ ng từ .
- Nộ i độ ng từ (intransitive): khô ng có tú c từ theo sau.
• NỘI ĐỘNG TỪ: Intransitive phrasal verbs
- Khô ng có tú c từ - độ ng từ cù ng particle (thườ ng là trạ ng từ - adverb) luô n đi sá t nhau:
Ví dụ:When she was having dinner, the fire broke out.
(Khi cô ấ y đang ă n tố i thì hoả hoạ n xả y ra.)
Our car broke down and had to be towed to a garage.
(Xe chú ng tô i bị hư và phả i kéo về chỗ sử a.)
• NGOẠI ĐỘNG TỪ: Transitive phrasal verbs
Đượ c chia là m hai nhó m, tuỳ theo vị trí củ a tú c từ :
- Nhóm 1: có thể ở giữa động từ và "particle" hoặc đi sau "particle":
Ví dụ:I took my shoes off. / I took off my shoes. (Tô i cở i già y ra.)
Ví dụ:He admitted he'd made up the whole thing/ He admitted he'd made the whole thing up.

Page
(Anh ta thú nhậ n rằ ng đã bịa ra mọ i chuyện.)
- Nhóm 2: Nhưng khi túc từ là những chữ như this, that, it, them, me, her và him thì chúng sẽ đứng ở
giữa động từ và 'particle':
Ví dụ:I took them off. (Not I took off them.)
He admitted he'd made it up. (Not He admitted he'd made up it.)
• NGOẠI LỆ:
Có nhiều phrasal verbs vừ a có thể là transitive hoặ c intransitive. Ngữ cả nh sẽ cho chú ng ta biết chứ c nă ng
cù ng vớ i nghĩa củ a chú ng:
Ví dụ:The plane took off at seven o'clock, (intransitive)
(Má y bay cấ t cá nh lú c 7 giờ .)
The man took off the shoes and came into the room, (transitive)
(Ngườ i đà n ô ng cở i già y và đi và o phò ng.)
