Separable phrasal verbs.
When a phrasal verb has an object, this
one has 2 possible locations:
+ after the phrasal verb. He picked up the
keys.
+between the phrasal verb and the
preposition. He picked the keys up.
But if the object is a pronoun, we have always to put it between the
verb and the preposition. He`picked them up.
