The limousine driver will arrive at 08.50 a.m to pick you up for your trip tomorrow.
I was immediately asked why we say pick you up instead of pick up you (which they had all been using instead) and therefore following my example- why pick your baggage up and not pick up your baggage . Cracking stuff I had to admit and from a beginner group too!!!!
If one of you could give me a pertinent reply for them tomorrow it would be much appreciated!!
