Today write sentences with "bring round"

Question

Hello everyone. I think phrasal verbs are some of the most difficult to many English learners because most of them do not have a literal translation. So I have decided to learn one or two phrasal verbs every day. And I know you can help me with that, but you also need to learn Spanish, so please write the sentence in English using the PV then try it in Spanish. Then I will correct your sentence (the Spanish sentence, of course); we will help each other out.If you`re not sure about how to make a good translation ,just explain to me(In English) what your Pv means, that will help me make a better traslation. Today write sentences with "bring round".

1.-Bring round: Persuade(persuadir ,convencer).

I will try to bring my cousin round but it will be in vain ,she`s very stuborn.

Intentaré convencer a mi prima ,pero será en vano ,ella es muy obstinada.

2.-Cause to recover consciousness:Revive(hacer volver en sí ,reanimar).

He was unconscious for two minutes until the paramedics brought him around.

Estuvo inconsciente durante dos minutos hasta que los paramédicos lo reanimaron.

Phrasal verbs can also at times be split with more information being put between the two words:

3. Bring ..... round or bring ........ around (deliver, take etc)

to take someone or something somewhere, especially to someone’s house

He promised to bring the children round in the morning.

Él prometió que traería a los niños en la mañana.

4. Bring ..... round or bring .......around to something (mention, raise)

to introduce a new subject when speaking, bring the conversation round to something

Eventually, as I was expecting, he brought the conversation round to the subject of money.

Finalmente ,como lo estuve esperando,gradualmente,él introdujo el tema del dinero.

5. Bring round - nautical - to turn a boat

Bring the boat round, so that the wind is on the other side.

Gire media vuelta el barco ,de manera que el viento esté en el otro lado.

Answer 1

Why don´t you bring round your girlfriend so that we might get to know her?

¿Por qué no traes a casa a tu novia para que la conozcamos?

Nice one JC - those sound like very formal parents you have there, je je - I think I'd tell my boys 'so that we CAN get to know her' ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 1, 2012

Mom taught me to be formal in her presence, and to not use "get" so bloody often, ja ja - 005faa61, Jun 1, 2012

Luis, haz de ver que "might" en este caso no quiere decir "talvez," sino es una conjugación de "poder." Aunque sea formal, se usa entre la gente que todavía habla bien el inglés - 005faa61, Jun 2, 2012

Great !!!Thanks Julian. - luisssito, Jun 2, 2012
