Phrasal verbs and do, does, and did Like ordinary verbs, phrasal verbs form negatives and questions with  do, does, and did.

Do you sometimes doze off in class? Do we ever give in to pressure? How do these bottle tops come off? When the subject is he, she, it, or the name of one person or thing,  does is used.

Separable and non-separable phrasal verbs Phrasal verbs are either separable or nonseparable. Unfortunately, there is no rule that will help you to look at a phrasal verb and always know whether it is separable or nonseparable. Separable phrasal verbs Separable phrasal verbs can be separated by their object. When the object is a noun, it is usually entirely optional whether the object is placed between the verb and the particle or placed after the particle. Both sentences below are correct: I took my shoes off. I took off my shoes. However, when a pronoun is used instead of a noun, the pronoun must be placed between the verb and the particle: I took them off. I took off them. (incorrect form) But in one type of sentence, separable phrasal verbs must be separated — when the phrasal verb has two objects: She put a blanket on. She put on a blanket. She put a blanket on the bed. She put on a blanket the bed. (incorrect form) Nonseparable phrasal verbs Nonsepara...
