TOP TIPS! 🤩 If you see the word ‘something’, it usually means the verb requires an object. 🤩 If ‘something’ is in the middle of the phrasal verb, it means that it can be separated by the object (but doesn’t have to be). 🤩 If ‘something’ is at the end of the phrasal verb, it means it cannot be separated. 🤩🤩🤩 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more English videos and podcast English to help you improve your English 👉 ✔️ Visit our website 👉 ✔️ Follow us on Instagram 👉 ✔️ Find us on Facebook 👉 ✔️ Join us on TikTok 👉 @bbclearningenglish We like receiving and reading your comments - please use English when you comment 😊 #learnenglish #bbclearningenglish #phrasalverbs
