In order to shed some light on this topic, this work examines the concept of multi-word verbs, their main features, and the different subcategories they comprise, adopting a semantic and syntactic approach. For such end, it alludes to the most significant characteristics of each subcategory and provides examples thereof. Furthermore, it points out some of the problems that the lack of recognition of these verbs may pose for the understanding of texts. Resumen: El presente trabajo se centra en una categoría particular de verbos: los verbos compuestos (multiword verbs, verb combinations o group verbs). Esta categoría constituye una parte fundamental del léxico del inglés y es objeto de gran disenso entre los lingüistas. A fin de esclarecer este tema, el presente trabajo examina el concepto de verbos compuestos, sus principales características y las diferentes categorías que comprenden, desde una perspectiva semántica y sintáctica. A tal efecto, hace referencia a las características más importantes de cada subcategoría y proporciona ejemplos de ellas. Asimismo, plantea algunos problemas que la falta de reconocimiento de estos verbos puede suponer para la comprensión de textos. 2024-08-05T22:50:12Z 2024-08-05T22:50:12Z 2021 Artículo Cantorna Blanco, R.
