Three pieces, one meaning
A phrasal-prepositional verb is verb + adverb + preposition. The meaning is idiomatic, so learn the whole unit, not the pieces. Tap a verb and watch the machine load all three boxes. (Tres piezas que se aprenden juntas: el significado no es la suma de las partes.)
1 · Choose a verb
They don’t split — put the object somewhere
Tap the object, then tap the place where you think it goes. Only one slot works. (Toca el objeto y después la casilla: el objeto va siempre después de las tres piezas.)
The third piece changes the rule
In Unit 2 (Structure 5) some two-word phrasal verbs split, and a pronoun object even has to sit in the middle. Add a third piece and that freedom disappears. (Los de dos piezas pueden separarse; los de tres, nunca.)
-ing after to, register and stress
Errors Spanish speakers make
Read the sentence, find the problem, then tap Fix to check. (Errores típicos: adivina la corrección antes de verla.)
👩🏫 For the teacher — how this page maps to the manual
- Explore is Structure 6 in four moves: the machine loads the twelve verbs of the manual table with their meanings; the tap-to-place test proves inseparability for nouns and pronouns; the two-vs-three comparison brings back Unit 2 Structure 5 (separable pick up, obligatory middle pronoun, inseparable look after); the special-cases card carries the four points of the exception box (inseparability, look forward to + -ing, register, stress on the middle word) and the errors card is the manual’s pitfall list plus come up against, one of the five verbs of the Unit 3 Check.
- Build is productive: Assemble chooses the verb stem and the particle pair for the eight sentences of exercise B; Transform is exercise C (formal → phrasal) and exercise D (fix the word order or form), validated by text with a model answer.
- Drill is one graded flow drawn from a bank of 25 items — 15 per attempt, five per level (★ meaning & recognition · ★★ word order and form · ★★★ -ing after to, pronoun position, register) with score, streak and best result on this device.
- Works offline. Reading/writing only — no audio.
Build the verb
Read the sentence and the meaning it needs. Choose the verb and then the two particles. The machine builds the whole verb — guess before you check.
Drill — one flow, three levels
Bank of 25 questions — each attempt draws 15 new ones. (Cada intento saca preguntas distintas: repítelo.)
★ meaning & recognition · ★★ word order and form · ★★★ -ing after to, pronoun position, register. Keep your streak alive. (Igual escalera que tu Cuaderno de tareas.)
