Hello,

-This means that you and a group of friends help someone out.
-This means that you and a group of friends help out someone.
-This means that you and a group of friends help out one.
-This means that you and a group of friends help one out.

Must we put the pronoun in the middle of the pharasal verb or not?

Thanks...

Yes. It is one of those separable phrasal verbs that must be separated by a direct object.

Is that incorrect?

Yes. It is one of those separable phrasal verbs that must be separated by a direct object.

Only if the direct object is a personal pronoun. You can help out someone or help someone out; you can help me out, but you can't [STRIKE]help out me[/STRIKE].
