En los próximos días nos vamos a centrar en los verbos que van seguidos por una preposición (for, from, on, about, to, with, in, of, at, into y against). Ya que son una serie de verbos que llevan detrás una preposición.
A continuación os dejo con la lista, y más abajo, podéis ver/descargar en formato “infografía” para darle un uso más visual (aunque en esta ocasión, no me han salido bien del todo :$)
| Verbo + for | Ejemplo |
| Apologize for – Disculparse | He apologized for his bad behaviour. |
| Arrest for – Arrestar a alguien | Her father was arrested for fraud. |
| Ask for – Pedir |
Some people asked for help. |
| Blame for – Culpar | The report blames poor safety standards for the accident. |
| Call for – Exigir | Demonstrators have called for an end to the fighting. |
| Care for – Cuidar | He thanked the nurse who cared for him. |
| Check for – Revisar | I checked the typing for errors. |
| Excuse for – Disculparse | Please excuse me for being so late today. |
| Fear for – Temer por algo | The girl’s parents expressed fear for safety. |
| Fine for – Multar | She was fined for speeding. |
| Forgive for – Perdonar | I’ve tried to forgive him for what he said. |
| Hope for – Desear | We’re hoping for good weather. |
| Pay for – Pagar | Mum paid for my driving lessons. |
| Prepare for – Preparar | The 45 -year – old explorer has been preparing for latest expedition to the Arctic. |
| Thank for – Agradecer | Thanks for giving me a ride. |
| Wait for – Esperar | He’s waiting for a bus. |
- Recordad también, que detrás de la preposición, siempre va: un sustantivo, un pronombre o un verbo seguido de -ing.
- Es posible, en un inglés escrito, terminar una oración con un phrasal verb, pero considerado de mal gusto (y si se escribe en un examen os penalizarán).
