i'm confused about general sentence order in the following examples. Which one is correct or is using either of them fine?
"I need to get the report done" or "I need to get done the report"
"Switch the lights off" or "Switch off the lights"
many thanks in advance

Switch the lights off. Switch off the lights.

You can use either.
