قسمت دوم

افعال دو کلمه ای یکی از مهم ترین اجزای زبان به ویژه در زبان روزمره و محاوره ایی هستند. این افعال معمولا با ترکیب یک فعل به همراه یک حرف اضافه و یا یک قید شکل می گیرند. نکته مهم در مورد اینگونه افعال این است که معنی حاصل از ترکیب دو یا سه کلمه با یکدیگر در این نوع افعال معمولا با معنی تک تک اجزا تفاوت های چشمگیری دارد. برای مثال فعل دو کلمه ایی Turn Up را در نظر بگیرید. کلمه Turn به معنی چرخیدن یا گردش کردن است و کلمه Up به معنی بالاست، اما وقتی این دو کلمه در کنار یکدیگر قرار می گیرند معنی جدیدی  ایجاد می شود. عبارت Turn Up به معنی بلند کردن صدای چیزی و یا افزایش مقدار چیزی است.

Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called "multi-word verbs". Phrasal verbs and other multi-word verbs are an important part of the English language. Multi-word verbs, including phrasal verbs, are very common, especially in spoken English. A multi-word verb is a verb like "pick up", "turn on" or "get on with". For convenience, many people refer to all multi-word verbs as phrasal verbs. These verbs consist of a basic verb + another word or words. The other word(s) can be prepositions and/or adverbs. The two or three words that make up multi-word verbs form a short "phrase"—which is why these verbs are often all called "phrasal verbs".

1- act up (no object): misbehave (for people); not work properly (for machines).

"The babysitter had a difficult time. The children acted up all evening."

"I guess I'd better take my car to the garage. It's been acting up lately."

The important thing to remember is that a multi-word verb is still a verb. "Get" is a verb. "Get up", is also a verb, a different verb. "Get" and "get up" are two different verbs. They do not have the same meaning. So you should treat each multi-word verb as a separate verb, and learn it like any other verb.
