History
It's hard to talk about a common story like that, but every phraseological verb has its own. It is studied by historians in the language who look at huge volumes of material to monitor synchronically how a combination of words begins to be used differently than usual. For example, it rains cats and dogs have different versions of where the expression came from. One version is that Jonathan Swift mentions the expression to describe dirt on London streets after heavy rain.Formation
Despite their name, the verb is only one but mandatory part of their composition. The key, however, is that its meaning is complemented or changed by the next preposition or adversary. So, in combination, the meaning of phraseologicalism is formed.Types of verb combinations and:
- Adjective - They are always together and cannot be separated from other words in the sentence. For example: (They're not on good terms right now.)
- Admin + object - Here order can change, but the verb always retains its leading place. However, the object may be after the adversary or between the verb and it. For example: Or He gave all his money away. The meaning of both sentences is the same (He gave away his money.)
- Preposition + object. The sequence is always this because the verb and the preposition do not separate. For example: look after (take care of someone) - He looked after his parents for many years. (He has been caring for his parents for many years.)
- A combination of verb + admin + preposition + object. This group combines all elements of phraseologicalism. The parts here are always in this strictly defined order and cannot be separated from other words. For example: put up with /tolerate, tolerate/ - I don't know how she puts up with his terrible behavior. (I don't know how she tolerates his terrible behavior.)
