Grammar Reference :      Phrasal verbs.

Ø  They are two-word phrases, in this case consisting of a verb + preposition.

e.g.        Could you turn up the music, please?                       

 turn                up
verb               preposition


Ø  They can be separated by an object pronoun             
      turn           it         up
        (object pronoun)




e.g.        Please, turn up the music.                                         
                Please, turn it up.
it = the music                                                                                                                             

e.g.        Can you pick up those books?
Can you pick them up?
them = those books


Ø  Remember:

Subject pronoun: they usually start sentence                     Object pronoun: they go after the verb
e.g:  It is awesome                                                                          e.g. Please turn it up


I                                                                                                             me
