Listen "005 – Perífrasis de Movimiento"
Episode Synopsis
Spanish uses perífrasis to describe the movement of some verbs. For example, “Ella entró corriendo la casa” would sound odd or unnatural in English if it were translated “She entered running the house.” Since a preposition is used in English to express direction, this Spanish would be properly translated, “She ran into the house.” Here is a document with more examples.
