Wink How?

How can a non-english foreign learner distinguish whether a phrasal verb is separable or unseparable? Is there any easier rule for us to know that right away?

You must read English. You notice patterns , how people use phrasal verbs. Even native speakers make mistakes in seperation. The correct form will be used more than mistakes. Always ask questions too.
