TOP TIPS!
🤩 If you see the word ‘something’, it usually means the verb requires an object.
🤩 If ‘something’ is in the middle of the phrasal verb, it means that it can be separated by the object (but doesn’t have to be).
🤩 If ‘something’ is at the end of the phrasal verb, it means it cannot be separated.
