Tag along
Hi, I´d like to know if in this sentence the phrasal verbs are rightly used, I´m learning:
I wanted to tag alomg with my mother but she has given up on my promises and she booted me up.
Ok, thanks in advance

To tag along with means to accompany, properly used here. I'm not sure what promises you made that made her give up (get tired of, stop tolerating). Boot up is the term I know in the US for starting the computer; I don't know what it may mean in other parts of the English-speaking world.

- "Boot out" could, in the US, mean to 'kick out', as "he was kicked out of the club because of his drunken behavior".

Thanks, Philip! Your answer is very useful for me. I found To boot up as a synonym for to get rid of someone or something, similar, I believe, to your 2nd sample. So, it is used in the US to start the computer, I see. Great, thanks again.
