The native English speaker has no problem with phrasal verbs (get out, move over), which are combinations of very common verbs and basic adverbs or prepositions. Phrasal verbs are so common we don't even notice them, but these apparently easy verbs prove to be exceedingly difficult for non-native speakers. The goal of this dictionary is to give Spanish-speaking ESL learners confidence in using phrasal verbs. The Vox Diccionario de los phrasal verbs para hispanohablantes presents a comprehensive selection of these verbs with examples that show them in context and illustrate their usage. Most importantly, the definitions of the phrasal verbs are given in Spanish and the example sentences are given Spanish translations as well. The book consists of three parts: the dictionary of phrasal verbs, a section describing the different types of phrasal verbs, and a section explaining how "particles" (for example, over in move over) contribute to the meanings of verbs.
