200A. Let me see, let'me understand. This is the phrasal verb and you can... the blue
ones are the meanings.
20IK. Yes
202A. Then, there is always one for each.... This goes with this.
203K. Aha
204A. Then, what you are doing is trying to Ieam the meaning.
205 K. Mhm
206A. But why are you undecided? Why don’t you like it? Why isn’t it working?
207K. Why isn’t it working? Because I am going to Ieam the meaning but I still have a
lot of doubts about the use.
208A. Mhm
209K. I mean, I found out that sometimes, I think, there are synonyms for the phrasal
verbs.
210A. Mhm
21 IK. And then, how am I going to know when to use the phrasal verb and when the
synonym?...So, I started looking for something that helps me more, that satisfies me
more... (She shows me some books)
212A. Mhm
213K. to be ready
214A. In other words, for you it is not enough if you only know the meaning. You need
to know how to use it, how to be able to “apply it”.
215K. Yes
216A. Aha,
217K. I need to know the use
218A. Where did you get these verbs from? I mean, how did you select them?
219K. How did I select them? At random. I didn’t have a reason. It was simply that, let’s
say, according to the frequency I come across them, from my “interchanges” or in the
movies. I chose them if I remembered have heard them, the more common ones. If they
rang a bell, if I think that I have heard them.
220A. Mhm, then, in a way, these are the most common phrasal verbs, according to your
experience.
22IK. Yes
222A. Aha, but if these are the ones that you may need, Why are you going to look for
different ones?
223K. No, not to look for different ones, but to give me an idea of how... I can do an
exercise to help me with the use.
224A. How they are used.
225K Aha
226A. And you cannot do it, yet. You cannot
227K. No, not yet, I mean, I still don∕t have an idea of how I can learn... I mean, how I
can Ieam not the meaning but the use.
228A. Mhm. Then, what you need to do is to look for them here, in these books that may
tell you how...
229K. to look for, I rather believe I have to look for these verbs with a minimum of five
examples, or eight examples, in order to be able to have an idea of the way they are used.
230A. OK. Perfect
23IK. Yes?
232A. I think that’s is a good idea
233K. The only one I have thought of
