phrasal verb "find out"
Could you tell me if "find out" (meaning: lean) is used as
an inseparable pharasal verb?
If so, please give me an example sentence.

Are you referring to find out as in
How did you find out about the party?
The party was a complete surprise - I only found out about it the day.
find out about
Meaning: if you find out about something, you discover a fact or information that you did not know before, often because someone was keeping it secret.
Grammar: This phrasal verb needs an object. You can not separate the verb from its particles.
hope this helps

What beascarpetta said is true; but she didn't point out that 'find out' is separable. You can both 'find out the reason for the attack' and 'find the reason out'/'find it out'.

Re: phrasal verb "find out"
PS it's another phrasal verb (related but not the same) that is inseparable: 'find out about'.
