Phrasal verbs: Type 3

Type 3 phrasal verbs are transitive (i. e. they need a direct object) and separable. You can put the object after the phrasal verb, but you can also separate the main verb and the particle. However, if you use an object pronoun, you must always separate the main verb and the particle.

Examples:

a. The miners won’t call off the strike until they get paid.

b. Please write your name down in the top right corner of the page.

c. I brought up my children to be honest / I brought them up to be honest.
