Practice Exercises🇬🇧 Particle can split from verb: ta med mat OR ta mat med. Don't omit the particle. 🇷🇺 Не пропускайте частицу. 🇨🇿 Částice se může oddělit od slovesa.
Omitting the particle from a phrasal verb
Always include the particle: stå opp, gå ut, komme inn, ta med
Confusion about where to place the particle
Particle can come right after verb OR after the object: ta med mat / ta mat med

I get up at six o'clock.
'stå opp' = to get up (out of bed)

'gå ut' = go out; 'i kveld' = tonight
Ta med mat til piknik!
