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, the phrasal verb can be separated by the object (but doesn’t have to be).
???? If ‘something’ is at the end of the phrasal verb, the phrasal verb cannot be separated by the object.
