Christine, German (English is a Germanic language) is filled with phrasal verbs. I assume this is true for all the Germanic languages: Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian.

One does, however, find some forms of French in Canada, particularly New Brunswick, which combine a French verb such as 'venir' with 'back'. Do you teach ESL to francophones? If so where? And if so, how do you handle faux amis?

Ron, Are there any other languages besides English that have phrasal verbs? Is it possible that French has one or a few? I'm trying to think of one, but I'm realizing they are all prepositional verbs. -- Christine Reintjes Martin [log in to unmask] To join or leave this LISTSERV list, please visit the list's web interface at: http://listserv.muohio.edu/archives/ateg.html and select "Join or leave the list" Visit ATEG's web site at http://ateg.org/
