Today write sentences with "get by"

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 by"

Answer 1

They're finding it increasingly difficult to GET BY since their home destroyed by the typhoon.

Meaning : Have just enough money to live on..

Ellos están encontrando cada vez más difícil ** LLEGAR EN ** desde su casa destruyen por el tifón.

Significado: ¿Tienes el dinero apenas suficiente para vivir .

Well in this case "get by" make more sense to say "sobrevivir" instead of "llegar en". - luisssito, Aug 5, 2012

Answer 4

It is very sad, but many people in the world have to get by on less than US $1 per day.

Es muy triste, pero muchas personas en el mundo tienen que arreglárselas para vivir con menos de un dólar estadounidense por día.
