Some phrasal verbs can be separated with an object, for example 'switch on the light' can also be 'switch the light on'.
Not all phrasal verbs can be separated, so it's a matter of memorising which ones can and which ones can't.
Here's a little exercise to help you along. Complete the sentences by choosing the correct option. Remember to put the verb in the correct tense.
Phrasal Verbs have a way of worming their way into our everyday English. Many have more than one meaning so they can be quite confusing.
In this exercise you must read the sentence and the clue in brackets and try to put an appropriate phrasal verb in the correct tense in the gaps. The missing phrasal verbs are popular.
Phrasal Verbs can often be split when they use an object. For example we can say:
'I'm going to take off my shirt.'
'I'm going to take my shirt off'.
