Today write sentences with "blow up"
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:
