Watching your video reminded me about separable and inseparable phrasal verbs, e.g. PICKED him UP. Could you please tell me how to understand if a phrasal verb is separable or inseparable?

Rifai.
Very fun this class. Thank you for your enjoy class.
Rolandinho has never played with Rooney you’ve mixed the players .you want to say C.Rolando from Portugal.but i know you’re Canadian.
You mean Cristiano Ronaldo, don´t you?
très intéressant. ça me rappelle les cours d’anglais à l’école.
mon adresse E-mail est KO car je ne souhaite pas recevoir de publicité mais je me reconnecterai très volontiers et prochainement sur votre site pour découvrir d’autres vidéo
merci à vous
very intersting
I’m sorry to be the one who writes here about the EngVid’s bads without mentioning the good things in this website, BUT:
“Can he find a way to get passed the defenders from the other team” is wrong! It’s PAST not passed!
In another lesson you got the third conditional wrong, now this, what are you up to next time? Please …
I can’t agree with you, Mauro. “To get passed” seems to be appropriate here.
Is it good to critisize a teacher that way? ;-)
Indeed awesome lesson!!!very interesting!!!Keep up!!!!
