Phrasal verbs for interpersonal connections

소개

관계는 다른 사람들과의 상호작용을 통해 만들어지고, 시험받고, 때로는 깨지죠. 구동사는 이런 역학을 완벽하게 포착해요. 커플이 "break up(헤어지다)"했다가 "make up(화해하다)"하고, 친구가 "fall out(사이가 틀어지다)"했다가 "patch things up(관계를 수습하다)"하고, 우리 모두 어려운 사람과 "get along(잘 지내다)"하려고 노력하잖아요.

이 챕터에서는 사교 생활을 묘사하는 구동사를 살펴봐요——처음 만남부터 오래 지속되는 우정까지, 로맨틱한 시작부터 복잡한 끝까지.
