warning Separable or Inseparable?

Can you break the verb apart?

(កិរិយាសព្ទខ្លះអាចបំបែកបានដោយដាក់ "it" នៅកណ្តាល ឯខ្លះទៀតបំបែកមិនបានទេ!)

Pick it up. / Put it away. ✅

(Separable: These can break apart for a pronoun.)

Look it for. ❌

(Inseparable: It MUST be "Look for it".)

Hi Sovan! That is the hardest part about phrasal verbs! Unfortunately, there is no magic rule to tell them apart just by looking at them. You simply have to memorize them as you learn them. A good dictionary will tell you! For now, remember: "Pick up" and "Throw away" are separable, "Look for" is inseparable. 🧠
