Preposition Combinations
Let’s begin by exploring verb and preposition combinations. These are constructions where a verb is accompanied by a preposition to convey a specific meaning. The preposition often provides context or direction to the action of the verb. The meaning of the prepositional verb is similar to the meaning of the root or the main verb.
Examples
Talk about
- Example: We need to talk about our future plans.
Explanation: “About” adds context to the verb “talk,” focusing the conversation on a particular topic.
Think about/of
- Example: Maria often thinks about her future career.
- Explanation: In this instance, “think about” is a preposition combination, where “about” adds detail to the action, specifying what Maria is contemplating.
*** En otras palabras, la preposición no altera el significado del verbo. Es como su acompañamiento.

Phrasal Verbs
Phrasal Verbs: Phrasal verbs, on the other hand, are combinations of verbs with one or more particles, often prepositions or adverbs. These combinations create a new, idiomatic meaning that may not be immediately apparent from the individual words.
Examples
Take off:
- Example: The plane will take off in ten minutes.
- Explanation: “Take off” in this context means the departure of the plane and cannot be interpreted by understanding “take” and “off” independently.
- Break up:
- Example: After years of dating, they decided to break up.
- Explanation: “Break up” denotes the end of a relationship, illustrating how the combination creates a distinct meaning.
- Look up
- Example: I’ll look up that new word in the dictionary.
- Explanation: In this case, “look up” is a phrasal verb, where the combination has a specific, idiomatic meaning of searching for information.
