I have a question.Is there a rule about the phrasal verbs or do we have to memory the verb and the preposition that comes after it? Thanks for your answers.

There are some attemtps to synthesise patterns, like 'up' can carry a direction or a sense of completion, but it's largely a matter of memory, I'm afraid.
