2. Phrasal verb object placement can go in the middle or after the
verb.
This depends on whether the object or the pronoun is used.
And whether the phrasal verb is separable or inseparable
3. Object
First you must know whether the phrasal verb is separable or
inseparable
If the phrasal verb is separable then the object can go either in
the middle or after the verb.
Will you PICK UP the children at the airport?
or Will you PICK the children UP?
4. Object pronoun
Instead of repeating the object you already named in a previous
sentence, you can use the object pronoun instead
the children – them my son- him the bag- it
If you use the object pronoun then it will always go in the middle of the
separable phrasal verb.
Will you PICK them UP?
Will you PICK UP them at the airport? X
5. Inseparable Phrasal Verbs
*To” look after” is inseparable,
the verb and the preposition cannot be separated.
Can you LOOK AFTER my handbag
Can you LOOK AFTER it
