NOTE: 
 
According to QUIRK (1985): 
 
a) All phrasal verbs containing more than one particle are inseparable. 
 
 I've put up with the situation for more than two years. 
 
b) Separable or inseparable phrasal verbs? Some dictionaries tell you when phrasal 
verbs are separable. If a dictionary writes "look (something) up", you know that the 
phrasal verb "look up" is separable, and you can say "look something up" and "look up 
something". It's a good idea to write "something/somebody" as appropriate in your 
vocabulary book when you learn a new phrasal verb, like this: 
 
 
 get up 
 break down 
 put something/somebody off 
 turn sthg/sby down 
 
This tells you whether the verb needs a direct object (and where to put it). 
 
TIP: If you are not sure whether a phrasal verb is separable or inseparable, ALWAYS 
use a noun or nouns phrase and DO NOT separate. In this manner, you will always be 
correct!
