Phrasal Verbs You Can Split

Separable phrasal verbs can split around the object. If the object is a pronoun, it usually must go in the middle. This word order is one of the most important things to notice.

  • Example: Put on your coat.
  • Example: Put it on.

Quick Rule

  • noun object -> often before or after the particle
  • pronoun object -> usually between the verb and the particle

These verbs bend a little, but not in every direction.
