bring out
SeparableThe object can go before or after the particle — but a pronoun MUST go in the middle: “clean it up”, never “clean up it”.
How to say it
Stress the particle, not the verb: bring OUT. Saying “BRING out” is the clearest learner tell — the verb stays light and the particle carries the beat.
Link across the gap. The final /ŋ/ of “bring” moves onto the particle and starts its syllable: “bring out” is said “bri-ngout”. Pausing between the words is what makes phrasal verbs sound recited rather than spoken.
