Well, yes, to make it agree with the subject, you can conjugate a phrasal verb.

Take "look up" -- they look up words they don't know; she looks up words she doesn't know.

However, your example doesn't work with a singular subject. It's not a matter of whether you can "alter" the phrasal verb. For "stick together" to work, you need a plural subject.

Maximus,
If you would like to share an impression that you are serious about improving your English, please take note of the advice given to you in an earlier thread. Capitallize "i" and first word in a sentence and apply appropriate punctuations and space.

Phrasal verbs are considered fixed. However, for thrid person singular usage, i.e. " She takes care of her parents...",

In advance is not a verb and it does not change. It is fixed. Do not make any changes to it.

If just phrase, can it cahnge ? Example,'No cosequences in advance '.In advance is just a phrase/word not a phrasal verb? This type of phrase can we alter ? As you said 3rd singular can alter the phrasal verb ? Can phrasal be alter like ' No consequences in advances " ?

I simply do not know how to say this more clearly.

"In advance" does not have a verb. It does not change. It is always "in advance."

Maximus69Can phrasal be alter like ' No consequences in advances " ?
No. No. No. "In advance" can not be altered to "in advances." This has been answered several times.

What exactly do you mean by "No consequences in advance"? It's not a complete sentence and it doesn't make much sense to me.
