How does one look up more than one word at the same time?

How does one look up more than one word at the same time?

.. and I didn't mean translating a phrase. If I want to look up for example, "no me va bien" to find out whether it is a phrasal verb, or an impersonal verb, I can't do it in the dictionary on here. The translation tool doesn't explain things and I couldn't do a search in the reference section. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks!

I am sorry, pibo, we do not have this function.

In this case for example, or in any other looking for a phrasal verb etc. you have to look for the infinitive.

ir

There you get all kind of answers, like the one you are looking forwink

  1. to go (desenvolverse)

    • le va bien en su nuevo trabajo -> things are going well for him in his new job

    • su negocio va mal -> his business is going badly

    • ¿cómo te va? -> how are you doing?

Thanks, Heidi. Glad to know that I wasn't being thick. I will carry on using the dictionary as before.
