Los phrasal verbs con put aparecen en conversaciones cotidianas en inglés y entender su significado te ayuda a sonar más natural al hablar. Aquí aprendes cuatro phrasal verbs con put (put up with, put down, put off y put back), cuándo usarlos y cómo identificarlos en oraciones reales.
¿Qué significa put up with en inglés?
Cuando alguien hace algo molesto y aun así lo aceptas, estás haciendo put up with. Este phrasal verb significa tolerar o aceptar una situación que no necesariamente te gusta.
Un ejemplo claro: my teacher sometimes puts up with late assignments, but not often. La profesora tolera las tareas tarde, pero no siempre. Aquí la idea de aguantar algo se vuelve evidente.
¿Cuándo uso put up with? Cuando quieres decir que toleras algo molesto o incómodo. Por ejemplo: a dog owner has to put up with a lot of walks with a dog.
¿Cómo se usa put down y put off?
Estos dos phrasal verbs suenan parecidos pero tienen significados muy distintos. Uno se trata de cómo tratas a las personas y el otro de cómo manejas tu tiempo.
Put down: insultar o menospreciar
Put down significa insultar o hacer sentir mal a alguien. Es una acción que afecta directamente la autoestima de la otra persona.
Fíjate en este ejemplo: you should never put down your friends. It makes them feel bad. La frase deja claro que menospreciar a tus amigos los lastima.
Otro caso útil aparece en el trabajo: my boss never puts down any of the employees. He is respectful. Un jefe que no insulta a sus empleados muestra respeto.
Put off: posponer algo
Put off significa posponer o aplazar una tarea o evento. Es lo que haces cuando dejas algo para después.
El consejo del profesor lo resume bien: you shouldn't put off doing your assignments because you may fall far behind. Si pospones tus tareas, puedes quedarte atrás.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre put down y put off? Put down es insultar a una persona; put off es posponer una actividad. Uno afecta emociones, el otro afecta tu calendario.
¿Qué quiere decir put back?
Put back significa regresar algo a su lugar original. Si tomaste un libro de un estante, ponerlo de vuelta donde estaba es hacer put back.
El ejemplo del profesor lo ilustra: I often have trouble when I forget to put back the books where they belong. Olvidar devolver los libros a su sitio genera desorden.
También aplica en contextos prácticos como el gimnasio o un laboratorio: don't forget to put back the equipment where you found it. Devolver el equipo a su lugar es parte del cuidado compartido.
¿Cómo practico los phrasal verbs con put?
La mejor forma de fijar estos cuatro phrasal verbs es identificarlos en oraciones y elegir la opción correcta según el contexto.
Repasa los significados así:
Si al practicar fallas alguna respuesta, regresa al ejemplo, identifica el sujeto y pregúntate si la acción es tolerar, insultar, posponer o regresar. Con eso, eliges el phrasal verb correcto sin dudarlo.
¿Cuál de estos cuatro phrasal verbs usas más en tu día a día? Cuéntame en los comentarios cómo los aplicarías en una conversación real.

I can't put up with the lazy people, because I consider the time it's in order to take advantage. You cannot be waisting your time. I never put down anybody despite I am angry, because it's crucial to be respectful. Usually I don't like to put off my tasks, however I took my weekend off and now I'm running out the clock in order to memorize all the information for my exam. When I take something that is not mine, I always put it back.

When you have kids, sometimes you need to put up with their tantrums, and sometimes they're going to put each other down, but we shouldn't tolerate that. Your house is going to be chaotic, but we need to show them how to put everyting back in its original place. Sometimes you are going to put off your own desires for theirs, it requires a lot of sacrifice, but it is so rewarding.
