영어의 문법에서 특히 주목해야 할 부분 중 하나는 ‘Phrasal Verbs'(구동사)입니다. 구동사는 동사와 전치사나 부사가 결합하여 만들어진 표현으로, 원래 동사의 의미와는 전혀 다른 새로운 의미를 가질 수 있습니다. 실생활에서 자주 사용되기 때문에 구동사의 의미와 쓰임을 알고 있는 것이 매우 중요합니다.
이번 영어 문법 운동에서는 다양한 구동사들을 연습할 수 있는 문장을 제공하고자 합니다. 각 문장에는 한 개의 구동사가 빠져 있으며, 여러분은 올바른 구동사를 찾아 문장을 완성해야 합니다. 문맥을 잘 파악하여 알맞은 단어를 채워 넣는 연습을 통해 구동사에 대한 이해를 높이고 사용 능력을 향상시켜 보세요.
