 PHRASAL VERBS FOR TALKING ABOUT CARS.

Phrasal verbs contain a verb and a particle that together have their own meaning.
Ex: Main verb + particle = ( meaning) Turn + on = start (a machine)

Many phrasal verbs are separable. This means that a direct object noun can come before or after the particle: turn on, turn off, pick up, drop off, and fill
up are separable.
Direct object direct object
I’ll drop off the car OR I’ll drop the car off

NOTE: If the direct object is a pronoun, it must come before the particle. Ex: I’ll drop it off Did you fill them up? Where will the pick us up?
