Put up with, look forward to, where the whole unit must be learned.
Why you specifically
Trong tiếng Anh, nhiều cụm động từ ba phần là một khối cố định: động từ + tiểu từ + giới từ. Người học không thể tách từng từ ra để dịch theo nghĩa đen, vì nghĩa của cả cụm thường không bằng tổng nghĩa của từng từ riêng lẻ. Ví dụ, put up with không có nghĩa là “đặt lên với” mà có nghĩa là “chịu đựng, nhẫn nhịn”. Look forward to là “mong chờ, háo hức chờ đợi”, và sau to phải dùng danh từ hoặc V-ing, không dùng động từ nguyên mẫu. Go on with nghĩa là “tiếp tục (làm gì đó)”. Điểm dễ sai với người Việt là dùng “to” như trong cấu trúc nguyên mẫu, hoặc bỏ mất một trong các từ của cụm. Hãy nhớ rằng toàn bộ cụm phải được học và dùng như một đơn vị.
The rule
Three-part phrasal verbs are fixed combinations of a verb plus two extra words, usually a particle and a preposition, and learners must learn the whole unit. In this lesson, put up with means tolerate, look forward to means feel pleased about a future event or action, and go on with means continue. You cannot freely change one part of these expressions, and the word after them must match the grammar pattern: put up with is followed by the thing you tolerate, look forward to is followed by a noun phrase or a gerund, and go on with is followed by the activity being continued. Vietnamese learners often try to translate each word separately, but English treats these as fixed patterns, not as three independent words.
The trap
I have to put with noisy neighbors every night.
I have to put up with noisy neighbors every night.
Put up with means tolerate something unpleasant. The whole three-part phrasal verb is fixed, and it must be followed by a noun or gerund-like noun phrase, not an infinitive.
I am looking forward to meet you next week.
I am looking forward to seeing you next week.
Look forward to is a fixed expression, and it is followed by a noun or gerund phrase. In this meaning, we do not say look forward a meeting or look forward to meet.
She is looking forward to go on holiday.
She is looking forward to her holiday.
Look forward to can be followed by a noun phrase. The verb form after to must match the structure, so a bare infinitive is wrong here.
He could not go on the interview after the interruption.
He could not go on with the interview after the interruption.
Go on with is a three-part phrasal verb meaning continue. The preposition with is required in this structure.
