Phrasal verbs Hi people! How is going your day? Today I'd like to talk about what I think about phrasal verbs. In my opinion it is one of the hardest things about the English. If you compare English to Spanish, many people can assure that English is easier, because of the tenses, are much less complicated. But on the other hand English has phrasal verbs! The special topic that I didn't know anything before to be in the pre-intermediate level. What I mean is that in Spanish schools, the teaches don't teach the students about it when you begin with the language. That is the mothership! Because when discover it you can notice that it is really difficult, and you have your own vocabulary but the problem appears when you are face to face to an English speaker. And you say: - OH! I can't understant anything! Why are they using a lot of words that I can't guess the sentence in its totally?. -The point is I can hear words that I know, almost all the sentence, but there is something I can't catch out. That's why they use "many many many" phrasal verbs and you need to study it and practice with it as much as you can figure. The problem I think about is: 10 years ago when you began with the english at the school, the teachers only taught you the colours... more and more vocabulay useless which you always end up forgeting almost all of it. My conclusion is , I hope nowadays the teachers in Spain are teaching better than the teachers I had, taught to me. I will be very glad if someone wants correct it to me, Thanks have a nice day.

Phrasal verbs

Hi people (you can also use "everybody" instead of "people" here)! How is going your day your day?

(Or "How was your day?" "How is your day going?" "How has your day gone?" "How was your day?" depending on the tense you want to use)

Today I'd like to talk about what I think about phrasal verbs.
In my opinion it is one of the hardest things about the English language.
If you compare English to Spanish, many people can assure you that English is easier,
because of the tenses, which are much less complicated. But on the other hand English has phrasal verbs!
The This is the special topic that I didn't know anything about before,  to be while being in the pre-intermediate level.
What I mean is that in Spanish schools, the teaches teachers don't teach the students about it when you begin with the language. That is the mothership of the teachers (I think you are trying to highlight the motherly care of the teachers for their students here.) Because when you discover it you can notice that it is really difficult, and as you have your own set of vocabulary words but the problem appears ("surfaces" is also a synonym you can use in place of "appears" here) when you are speaking face to face to an English speaker. And you say: - OH! I can't understant understand anything! Why are they using a lot of words that I can't guess the sentence in its totally totality ? ("entirety" can also be used instead of "totality" here). -The point is I can hear identify the words that I know, and understand almost all of the sentence, but there is something I still can't catch figure out.
That's why they use "many many many" ("a lot of" can be used here instead of "many many many") phrasal verbs and you need to study it and practice with it as much as you can figure ("understand" can also be used in place of "figure" here).

The problem I think about is:

10 years ago when you began with the English at the school, the teachers only taught you the colours ("shades" can be used instead of "colours" here if you are using the word "colours" in a metaphorical sense)... more and more vocabulary useless which you always end up forgeting almost all of it. much of the vocabulary taught was so useless that you always ended up forgetting almost all of it.

My conclusion is , I hope that nowadays the teachers in Spain are teaching better than the teachers I had, who taught to me.







I will be very glad if someone wants to correct it to for me, Thanks and have a nice day.

I can't understant anything! Why are they using a lot of words that I can't guess the sentence fully?." ("in its totally" is a bit formal - also, you don't need a full stop(.) after a question mark (?)) The point is I can hear words that I know, almost all the sentence, but there is something I can't make out.
There are "many many many" phrasal verbs and you need to study it and practice with it as much as you can figure.

I didn't know any about this The special topic that I didn't know anything before I started to be in the pre-intermediate level.
What I mean is that in Spanish schools, the teaches teachers don't teach the students about it when you begin with the language. That is the mothership [not sure what you mean by "mothership" - that usually refers to a space ship that carries a lot of smaller space ships, like the Battlestar Galactica]! Because when you discover it you can may notice that it is really difficult, and you have your own vocabulary but the problem appears when you are face to face to an English speaker. And you say: - OH! I can't understantd anything! Why are they using a lot of words that make it hard to understand the sentence in its entirety I can't guess the sentence in its totally?. -The point is that I can hear words that I know, almost all of the sentence, but there is something I can't catch out.

You're absolutely right on the importance of phrasal verbs! As you learn more and more, you'll find your enjoyment of English increasing.. as your comprehension expands rapidly. Btw, if it's any consolation, other germanic languages, like German and Dutch, make even greater use of phrasal verbs than English, in an even more confusing manner. One thing I'd like to point out is that even though Spanish doesn't have phrasal verbs, you do have verbs with prefixes, where the meaning of the prefixed verb cannot necessarily be guessed by knowing the prefix and the root. Some examples: Comprender, reprender, aprender, emprender, desprender. Knowing the meaning of "prender" and the prepositions / prefixes "con" "re" "a" "en" and "des" doesn't really help -- each verb must be learnt individually. I don't see how this would be any easier than learning English "phrasal verbs." I'm not missing anything, am I?

Yes, I think if we were taught practicing more since we began with the language, now we'll speak perfectly! So we need to study harder now
