Summary of the thesis results: Verb phrases (also called phrasal phrases) are a type of main-subordinate phrase, in which the central element is the verb, and the subordinate elements function to add meaning about manner, degree, time, place, etc., to that central verb. In Vietnamese phrasal phrases, the main element is in the central position, and the subordinate elements are distributed on either side of the main element: in front (usually adverbs) and behind (usually content words). In Korean phrasal phrases, the main element always stands at the end, and all subordinate elements are placed before the main element. Besides differences in word order, phrasal verbs in Korean and Vietnamese also differ in the means of expressing tense, mood, etc. We chose the topic "Comparison of Phrasal Verb Structures in Korean and Vietnamese" to find similarities and differences in the structure and means of expressing meaning of phrasal verbs in Korean and Vietnamese, to facilitate the teaching and learning of both languages. The research focuses on analyzing and comparing the structure of phrasal verbs in Korean and Vietnamese in terms of construction, grammatical meaning expression, tense, mood, etc. The research uses several methods: The Component Analysis method is used to analyze the structure of phrasal verbs in Korean and Vietnamese, which are the subjects of study. The Comparative method is used to compare the characteristics of phrasal verbs in the two languages on a general structural level. Besides the introduction and conclusion, the thesis is divided into three chapters as follows: Chapter I: Theoretical Basis; Chapter II: Verb Phrase Structure in Korean and Vietnamese; Chapter III: Comparative Analysis of Word Order in Korean and Vietnamese Verb Phrases. The research aims to identify similarities and differences in the general structure, grammatical meaning expression methods, tense, modality, etc., of Korean and Vietnamese verb phrases to aid in the teaching and learning of Korean, helping to find an approach that aligns with the thinking and expression of native speakers. Furthermore, the research also provides a foundation for future grammatical studies.

Our study focuses on analysing, comparing verb phrases in Korean and in Vietnamese in terms of structure, ways of presenting grammartical meanings, time, modality, state… The study is using some methodologies as follows: Component analysis: is used to analyze structure of verb phrases in Korean and in Vietnamese – studied objects Comparision: is used to compare features of verb phrases of the two languages in common structure. In addition to Preamble and Conclusion part, the thesis is divided into three chapters as follows: Chapter I: Theoretical basis/Methodology Chapter II: Structure of verb phrases in Korean and in Vietnamese Chapter III: Analysis and comparision of word orders in verb phrases in Korean and in Vietnamese The study is to find out the similarities and differences in common structure, of presenting grammatical meanings, time, modality, state… of verb phrases in Korean and in Vietnamese in order to make teaching and studying Korean better, to help find out accessment to native ways of thinking and presenting.
