 CHUYÊN ĐỀ : PHRASAL VERBS (CỤM ĐỘNG TỪ )
A/ Trong tiếng Anh hiện đại, người ta hay dùng một hay hai particle (giới từ hay trạng từ ) sau động từ để có được sự khác nhau về ý nghĩa. Ví dụ: - give away = give sth to someone/anyone ( Cho ai , tặng ai cái gì ) 
 = to make known sth that sb wants to keep secret ( thổ lộ, tiết lộ ra, tố giác ra ) 
 - give up = abandon (a habit or attempt) ( từ bỏ moat thói quen, moat nổ lực ) 
 - look after = take care of ( Chăm sóc)
 - look for = search for, seek ( tìm kiếm)
 - look out = beware ( Hãy cẩn thận, coi chừng )
B/ Cĩ hai loại : 
Verbs + Particle + Object
 Intransitive
PHRASAL VERBS
 Transitive
 Noun 
 Pronoun
