word order of phrasal verbs

A phrasal verb = particle (verb + preposition or adverb)

e.g. get up, go out, turn on, look for

2- Some phrasal verbs have an object and are separable. With these phrasal verbs we can put the particle (on, off, etc.) before or after the object.

  • Put on your coat. Put your coat on. Put it on
  • Turn off the TV. Turn the TV off. Turn it off.
  • I borrowed $50 from my friend, and I need to pay it back.

1- Some phrasal verbs don't have an object, e.g. get up, go out.

  • What time do you get up?.
  • I don't usually go out during the week.
  • I wake up at 7:00 AM every morning

When the object is a pronoun (me, it, him, etc.) it always goes between the verb and particle Here's your coat. Puit it on NOT Put on it. Can you drop me off at the airport?.

3- Some phrasal verbs have an object and are inseparable e.g. look for. With these phrasal verbs the verb (e.g look) and the particle (e.g. for) are never separated.

  • I'm looking for my glasses. NOT I'm looking my glasses for.
  • She gets on with her coworkers
  • We looked round the museum and admired the artwork
  • I ran out of milk, so I need to buy more
  • The concert was interrupted by rain, but after the storm passed, the band went on with the show
