Can you put right the photos? incorrect
Can you bring back the photos? correct
Will you get ready the tea?incorrect
 
Can I ask one more question?

-Can you bring the photos which I wanted yesterday back?

-Can you bring the photos back which I wanted yesterday?

Which one is OK?
 
To me the second one is correct.
 
Thanks... But I have seen 'take back your time' and 'take your time back' also... :-(

That's OK. They are both right.
 
If so, they are also correct, is that right?

Can you put right the photos?

Can you
bring back the photos?

Will you
get ready the tea?
 
If so, these are also correct, is that right?

Can you put right the photos? Not common.

Can you
bring back the photos? Fine

Will you
get ready the tea? No.
No, that's not a valid deduction. What's your argument? - that if you can separate one verb around it's object, you can do it with all verbs?
