I was watching https://youtu.be/7hxdPMNtkXY on the use of ‘dar’ with various prepositions, having fun watching the meaning completely change, depending on the preposition used. Kind of like ter vs ter de.
Anyway - I looked thru all my books/resources and can not find a comprehensive list of the verbs that change this way. I can find the basics (ir a and ir para, for example; plus a few others). But nothing as deep as shown in the dar video.
Anyone know of such a resource?
@stephencanthony, I don’t know any resource that condenses all of that (extensive) information.
As far as PP goes, we are gradually working on expanding our content regarding highly variable verbs. Here are a couple of examples:
Thank you @Joseph - FWIW, I did a google search regência verbal and then getting to something like: this which helps, but, alas, is not consistent in its enumeration of all verbs.
Another resource I find useful is the infopédia dictionary (not a comprehensive list but a useful resource non the less: https://www.infopedia.pt/dicionarios/lingua-portuguesa/dar
In many definitions of verbs you have a section that gives “How to use the verb” giving different meanings to the verb with diferent prepositions and giving examples:

Surprisingly, I had given infopedia a looksie and even typed in dar - and the didn’t scroll down far enough - go figure. So I only saw the conjugations. Didn’t realize that the usage was pretty much what I was looking for.
So, @mcguirejajm Thank you!!
I was looking for something else yesterday and tripped over a comprehensive explanation of the numerous uses of dar. You need to scroll down a bit to get to the good stuff, but the coverage is quite extensive.
I had no idea there were so many ways to use this; I’m going to be figuring this out slowly.
Really good find! Obrigado!
