Hi to all,
I have difficulties creating a proper sentence with using phrasal verb. Help me please.
Which one is correct?
------------
"I will let the nurse that looked after me know"
or:
I will let know the nurse that looked after me.
-----------
The second sentence is probably right, however what about the first one?
I think first is correct.Let know is not a phrasal verb,as far as I know.Let and know both are verbs and then where is the preposition to make it a phrasal verb?? It should be 'I will let the nurse know....'Two verbs together????I haven't come across such usage.
