Today write sentences with "get away"

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.

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 translate your sentence, just explain (in English) what your Pv means and I will help with your translation.

Today let's write sentences using the phrasal verb:

"Get away"

I love this series. They really make me think about how to say something in Spanish. And its not always easy. - gringojrf, Aug 3, 2012

Thanks Gringo!!! Yes sometimes it´s not easy to think about PV, but it´s really useful to learn them. - luisssito, Aug 3, 2012

When you are rich and powerful you can "get away" with anything.

Cuando eres rico y poderoso puedes ir gratis con algo.

I think this is another salirse con la suya example...but is the "with anything" implied or could you say "Cuando eres rico y poderoso te puedes salir con la tuya para culaquier cosa."? Not sure which preposition to use. - Ashlita, Aug 4, 2012

Yes, Ashlita. You`re right.".....cualquier...." - luisssito, Aug 4, 2012
