👍 Using phrasal verbs and pronouns correctly

What are Phrasal Verbs?
Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that create a new meaning.
▶️For example:
➡️ clean up to tidy or make clean.
➡️ give away to reveal or donate something.



1⃣With Nouns (Objects):
You can place the object (noun) either before or after the particle.
⭐️ Example:
🔴You need to clean it up. (object "it" before the particle "up")
🔴You need to clean up the room. (object "the room" after the particle "up")

2⃣ With Pronouns:
When the object is a pronoun (like me, him, her, us, them), it must go before the particle.
⭐️Example:
❪✓❫ You need to clean it up.
❪✘❫ You need to clean up it.

❪✓❫ The noise woke me up.
❪✘❫ The noise woke up me

⬆️Examples with Give Away

1. Don’t give the story away.
📖 Don’t reveal the story to someone. This is often used to prevent spoiling a book or movie for others.

2. Don’t give away the story.
📖 Similar to the first, but it emphasizes keeping the story private or not sharing it at all.

📍 Note:
🟢Use nouns before or after the particle in phrasal verbs.
🟢Use pronouns before the particle in phrasal verbs.

👋 Using Phrasal Verbs Instead of Formal Verbs

1⃣ Natural Sounding Phrasal verbs are often more commonly used in everyday conversation, making your English sound more natural and less formal.
2⃣ Informality While some phrasal verbs can be informal, many are neutral and widely accepted in both spoken and written English.
