Nếu Tiếng Anh chỉ có 50 động từ mà trung bình mỗi động từ chỉ có thể kết hợp với 5 giới từ/trạng từ cơ bản để tạo thành một cụm động từ có nghĩa thì có đến khoảng 250 cụm động từ cần phải học, chưa kể đến một số phrasal verbs mang nhiều ngữ nghĩa khác nhau. Nhưng thực tế là, Tiếng Anh có đến hàng trăm, hàng nghìn động từ có thể tạo thành "cụm các từ ngữ" nên việc học tiếng chẳng khác nào "mò kim đáy bể". Vì vậy, khi học CĐT, người học cần chú trọng ở lĩnh vực cơ bản, thông dụng trước để nắm vững nền tảng, TOPSHARE xin chia sẻ với các bạn những cụm động từ thường dùng trong giao tiếp và thi cử.
