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.
