This split does not alter the meaning of the sentence in any way. Using the example above, we can also say: "Paul hung the telephone up. Regarding these separable phrasal verbs, it is important to note that when we substitute the object of the phrasal verb with a pronoun, the pronoun always goes between the verb and the preposition.
Phrasal verbs are used by all native English speakers with great frequency. There is no escaping them. They are an integral part of the English language, and a part of formal and informal discourse. In many cases, there are single or normal verbs that can describe an action, but a native English speaker will use a phrasal verb instead.

It is easier for a Brazilian ESL learner to use the verbs to invent inventar , or to imagine imaginar , which have Latin roots, than the phrasal verb make up. However, when a Brazilian ESL learner uses these verbs, rather than the more commonly used phrasal verbs, he often sounds strange or unnatural to native English speakers. Let us look at an example. Let us imagine you are playing chess with an American.
He is winning the game, and in a matter of a few moves he will have you in checkmate. His victory is inevitable. The Brazilian throws up his hands and says: I desist! Eu desisto. The American would probably reply: What?!

Moreover, some of these phrasal verbs have multiple meanings.

This dictionary does not contain every phrasal verb in the English language. Far from it. Any native English speaker knows, and uses, thousands of phrasal verbs.
