When phrasal verbs are transitive (that is, they have a direct object), we can usually separate the two parts. Ex: "turn down" is a separable phrasal verb. We can say: "turn down my offer" or "turn my offer down". Look at this table: transitive phrasal verbs are separable They turned down my offer. They turned my offer down. ! However, if the direct object is a pronoun, we have no choice. We must separate the phrasal verb and insert the pronoun between the two parts. John switched on the radio. These are all possible. John switched the radio on. John switched it on. John switched on it. This is not possible. PRACTICE TEST 1.
