Separable and Inseparable Phrasal Verbs
As phrasal verbs consist of a main verb, an adverb or preposition or both,
these verbs can sometimes be separated. Only transitive verbs (which take
a direct object) can be separated.

Only transitive phrasal verbs (which take a direct object) can be

All separable phrasal verbs are transitive, but not all transitive
phrasal verbs are separable.
