phrasal verbs
Hi, I wonder how a person can figure out when to divide a transitive phrasal verb or not to divide it. Sometimes, an object comes after a transitive phrasal verb and sometimes not. For instance;
They have been looking after their gandson \ him. We put the object after the phrasal verb despite the fact that it is transitive. Should I memorize such ones or What is the way of differentiating them?

Nevertheless, it's worth noting that if the second element of the phrasal verb is one of the ten listed below, it is probably separable, i.e., it will require an object pronoun between the two words of the phrasal verb.
in, out, on, off, up

This topic requires a comprehensive study. I get:) However, I wouldn't find the valuable information about the second element of the phrasal verbs that you shared. I will note them down. Thank you so much, CalifJim
