Today write sentences with "get down"

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 down"

(a) escribir

(b) deprimir

(c) agacharse

(d) on - pensar que alguien o algo está mal y criticarlo por eso

(e) to - ponerse a hacer algo seriamente y con mucho esfuerzo

Thank you so much my dear friend:):):) - luisssito, Aug 6, 2012
