So you can say put out / get on / take off / run away etc. These verbs are phrasal verbs.
We often use out / off / up, etc. with verbs of movement. For example:
Get on: The bus was full. We couldn´t get on.
Come back: Sally is leaving tomorrow and coming back on Saturday.
Turn round: When I touched him on the shoulder, he turned round.
But often the second word (out / off / up, etc) gives a special meaning to the verb. For example:
Break down: Sorry. I am late. The car broke down (=the engine stopped working)
.Look out: Look out! There is a car coming. (= be careful)
Get up: I was very tired this morning. I couldn´t get up. (= get out of bed)
Get by: My French is not very good but it is enough to get by ( to manage)
Sometimes a phrasal verb is followed by a preposition. For example:Phrasal verb preposition
Run away (escape) from * Why did you run away from me?
Keep up (continue) with * You are walking too fast. I can´t keep up with you.
Look forward (wait) to * Are you looking forward to your holiday?
Cut down (reduce) on * Jack is trying to cut down on smoking
Sometimes a phrasal verb has an object. Usually there are two possible positions for the object.So you can say:
Object
I turned off the light I turned the light off
object
If the object is a pronoun (it / them / me / him, etc.), only one position is possible:
I turned it off Not I turned off it.
