Ifthere is a pronoun as the object, the phrasal verb must be informal English, the particle can sometimes be several words away from the more formal writing, it is best to keep the verb and the phrasal verb together. Whenthe object is a pronoun, however, the verb and the particle mustbe separated.

8 See the liston page : Phrasal Verbs7 KEY11 Rule separable phrasal verbs, it is possible to move the particle after a nounobject. However, this movement is not common in formal separable phrasal verbs, you must separate the verb and particle when apronoun is used as the phrasal verbs often use these nine particles:up, down, on, off, in,out, away, back, over. (An easy way to remember the first six is that they are pairs ofopposites:up down, on off, in out.)Rule careful with phrasal verbs usingonbecause some are separable but others arenon-separable.
