Phrasal Verbs in Spanish.

Hello, Super Learners,

Welcome back to Spanish Super Tutor! I’m Miguel Marina, and today we're diving into an exciting aspect of Spanish that will spice up your conversational skills: Phrasal Verbs in Spanish.

Why focus on Phrasal Verbs in Spanish?

Phrasal verbs, known for their idiomatic expressions, combine a verb with a preposition or adverb, creating a new meaning that often differs from the original verb. Mastering these can significantly enhance your understanding and fluency, making you sound more like a native speaker.

What are Phrasal Verbs in Spanish?

Phrasal verbs in Spanish, similar to their English counterparts, involve a verb and a prepositional phrase or adverb that modifies the verb’s meaning. They are essential for fluent speech and can dramatically change the tone and context of a conversation.


Examples of Phrasal Verbs in Spanish

  1. Acabar de (to have just)

  • Example: "Acabo de comer." (I have just eaten.)

  • "Acabar de" is used to express that something has just occurred.

  1. Darse cuenta de (to realize)

  • Example: "Me di cuenta de que olvidé las llaves." (I realized that I forgot the keys.)

  • "Darse cuenta de" is a phrasal verb for coming to a realization.
