Explicação:
INSEPARABLE PHRASAL VERBS always remain together. It makes no difference if a noun or pronoun is used.
He scraped by on only $800 a month for two years. NOT He scraped it by for
two years.
They splashed out on new office furniture. NOT They splashed it out.
NOTE: 
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
