Hello~ teachers!
I want to know if the expression 'cheer up someone' is correct.
Is it ok if I use that expression instead of cheer someone up?
Please help me know the correct expression.

If the object is a noun, you can use either form: I cheered up my brother I cheered my brother up. If the object is a pronoun, you can use only one form: I cheered him up.
