    English and Spanish Prepositional Verbs: A comparative Analysis
    (Universidad de Educación a Distancia (UNED), 2024-06) Aguza Cubero, Carmen; Escobar Álvarez, Mª Ángeles
    Learning prepositional verbs can be challenging for second language learners, due to factors such as language transfer and insufficient attention in textbooks or lack of guidelines by teachers. This study presents a comparative analysis of prepositional verbs in English and Spanish, focusing on their origins, structures and various studies on error analysis. The ultimate aim is to offer activities that may enhance the teaching of prepositional verbs. The study highlights the importance of prepositional verbs and suggests that publishers, teachers and students should pay more attention to them. It also recommends the use of contrastive analysis between the L1 and the target L2 to deal with the challenge of responding to student difficulties and confusion when finding structures that are not exhibited in their first language.
