Intermediate - Assault with a firearm IX: The pursuit.

La pregunta del día:

¿Has soñado una vez con algo persiguiendote? Have you ever dreamt of being chased?

De niña tenía sueños muy parecidos al diálogo, menos los coches. Para escapar solía volar. As a child I had dreams similar to the dialogue, but without the cars. To escape, I would fly away.

Sobre la palabra arrancar --

Yo todavía tengo presente la voz de Esti enseñándonos la pronunciación del "r" en español:  ¡Arranca la moto, arranca la moto!

Are you guys familiar with the word arrancar.  I thought it was odd when the male bank robber said “venga intenta arrancar” instead of arrancarlo or arrancar el coche.
It also seemed strange to have two conjugated verbs together.  I guess it really should be read as “ venga - intenta arrancar”.  Does anyone agree?
A third thing that surprised me was the use of correr in the sentence “Corre, acelera, acelera, que viene la poli”  I have never seen the verb correr – to run,  used to mean hurry up.

Stevestrv, what did you do to make it format like that?

First, thank you for reposting my comment. I posted on a friends computer.  I typed it using a free word processing program  and copied it into Internet Explore.  When viewed with IE, the text warps but I see that it doesn’t when viewed with Firefox so thanks again.

stevestrv, it's true that you've got two different verb phrases there, venga and intenta arrancar.  If it was English, I would have thrown in a comma.

JP thank you

Como se llama la Chica, ¿Bonita?; el veron, ¿Claudio?.  El coche seria un Ford V-8, como manejaron "Bonnie and Clye", ¡como no quería prenderse!
