So, 'crank up' is a phrasal verb. Phil, what else do we need to learn about it?
Phil
OK, with phrasal verbs, it's always important to know where to put the direct object. With 'crank
up' you can either put it in between 'crank' and 'up', or you can put it afterwards.
Feifei

Feifei
Yes, and we'll be back next time with another useful English phrase.
Phil
See you then. Bye!
