101 Phrasal verbs that take an object: separable
I looked up the new words in a dictionary.

Can you put away the dishes?

I put my glasses down somewhere but I can't remember where.
They've got too much money; they should give some of it away.

I don't know the answer but I must find it out.
• Many phrasal verbs take an object: I can't pick up this bag.

• We can say:
/ can't pick up this bag.
verb particle object
I can't pick this bag up.
verb object particle

The verb and the particle can separate. The particle can go before or after
the object.

• If the object is a pronoun {her, me, it, etc.) it goes before the particle:
I can't pick it up.
NOT I can't Dick up it.
