(암기용 핵심동사구) 영어고수를 보장하는 영어 핵심동사구 (영영의미 + 예문) 제1부
아래는 영작문, 영어회화, 및 영문독해에 매우 자주 출현하는 핵심 동사구들입니다. 1~2일에 한 번 정도씩 읽으시면 2~3개월 내로 다 암기할 수 있을 것이고, 만약 그렇게만 된다면 여러분들은 적어도 영어 동사구에 관한한 고수대열에 확실히 들어서게 될 것입니다. 이것을 발판으로 여러분의 영어가 한 단계 뛰어오르는 것은 물론이고 앞으로의 영어공부에서 지속적인 탄력과 확실한 자신감을 가질 수 있을 것입니다. 게다가 예문을 함께 외우시면 여기 있는 동사구들의 암기에도 큰 도움이 될 뿐 아니라 여러분의 영어실력 전체에 날개를 다는 셈이 될 것입니다. 특히 이런 표현들은 구어체 영어의 뼈대를 이루고 있으므로 영어말하기와 듣기에 더할나위 없이 큰 발전을 가져올 것입니다. 소위 원어민다운 부드러운 영어의 구사에 굉장한 도움이 될 것입니다.
* 아래 동사구들 중에서 '+'표시가 붙은 것은, 맨 뒤에 오는 단어가 전치사이며 뒤에 목적어가 온다는 표시입니다. '*'표시가 붙은 것은 동사 자체가 타동사이며 그 뒤에 목적어가 온다는 의미이고, '*', '+'표시가 둘 다 붙은 것은 목적어가 중간에 혹은 맨 뒤에 올 수도 있다는 의미입니다.
