句動詞の例文200選:レベル別に学ぶ実践フレーズ集
定義を読めば句動詞の意味はわかります。しかし、実際の使い方を教えてくれるのは例文です。どの文法書にも例文が載っているのには理由があります。句動詞を文脈の中で見ることで、文法(分離可能か不可能か)、語調(フォーマルかカジュアルか)、自然なコロケーション(どの名詞や場面と組み合わせるか)がわかるからです。
このガイドでは、200の句動詞の例文を自然で完全な文で紹介します。CEFRレベル別に整理されており、A2の基本表現「wake up」「turn off」から、C1の高度な表現「play down」「phase out」まで網羅しています。各項目には意味、わかりやすい例文、必要に応じて使い方のポイントが含まれています。
ライティングの参考に、自信をつけるための学習リストとして、あるいは自然な表現パターンを吸収するための素材として活用してください。例文を読んで繰り返すほど、句動詞が自然に出てくるようになります。
- 例文数: 200文
- 対応レベル: A2、B1、B2、C1
- 形式: 句動詞 → 意味 → 例文
- こんな人に最適: 定義は知っているが、句動詞を自然に使うのが難しい学習者
各句動詞の定義と詳しい解説は英語の句動詞完全ガイドを参照してください。基本動詞別の句動詞はGETの句動詞やMAKEの句動詞をご覧ください。
例文の効果的な使い方
例文をただ読むだけでも役立ちますが、能動的に練習することで本当の流暢さが身につきます。このリストを最大限に活用する方法を紹介します。
- 声に出して読む。 発音とリズムが大切です。句動詞は個々の単語とは異なる響きがあります。たとえば「pick UP」は、「pick」+「up」を別々に言うのとは違うストレスパターンを持っています。
- 意味を隠して、文脈から推測する。 自分をテストしましょう。定義を見なくても文が理解できるなら、上達している証拠です。
- 自分なりの文を書く。 名詞や詳細を自分の生活に置き換えましょう。「She turned down the job offer」→「I turned down the invitation to the party.」のように。自分に関連した文は記憶に残りやすいです。
- 文法に注目する。 目的語が動詞と不変化詞の間に入る(分離可能)のか、後に来る(分離不可能)のか確認しましょう。これがわかれば、自分で文を正しく作れるようになります。

よくある質問
句動詞とは何ですか?例を教えてください。
句動詞は、動詞+前置詞または副詞を組み合わせて、元の動詞とは異なる新しい意味を生み出す表現です。たとえば「give up」は「あきらめる」(文字通りの「give」+「up」ではない)、「run into」は「偶然出会う」、「break down」は「故障する」という意味です。英語には何千もの句動詞があり、ネイティブスピーカーは日常会話で常に使っています。
文の中で句動詞はどう使いますか?
句動詞は通常の動詞と同じ位置で使います。「She gave up smoking」は「She quit smoking」と同じように機能します。重要なルール:分離可能な句動詞では、代名詞は動詞と不変化詞の間に入れなければなりません(「Turn it off」であり「Turn off it」ではない)。分離不可能な句動詞では、目的語は常にフレーズ全体の後に来ます(「Look after the children」であり「Look the children after」ではない)。
