2. Phrasal verb
The term phrasal verb is commonly applied to two or three distinct but related
constructions in English: a verb and a particle and/or a preposition co-occur

verbo-partícula, de dos partes palabra / verbales, y de tres partes palabra / verbo
(en función del número de partículas), y los verbos de varias palabras.
