What does 'put up with' mean?

'Put up with' means to tolerate or endure something unpleasant or annoying ('I can't put up with this noise anymore'). It is a three-word phrasal verb that is always inseparable - you cannot say 'put this up with' or 'put up this with'. It's commonly used to express patience or tolerance for difficult situations or people.

Is 'put off' separable?

Yes, 'put off' is separable. You can say 'put off the meeting' or 'put the meeting off'. However, with pronouns, you MUST separate: 'put it off' (correct), never 'put off it' (incorrect). 'Put off' has multiple meanings: postpone ('put off the appointment'), discourage ('don't let this put you off'), or distract ('the noise put me off').

What is the difference between 'set up', 'set off', and 'set out'?

'Set up' means establish or arrange ('set up a business', 'set up a meeting'). 'Set off' means begin a journey or trigger something ('we set off early', 'the alarm set off'). 'Set out' means explain/present information or begin a journey ('set out the plan', 'set out on a trip'). Context determines which one to use.

Are TURN phrasal verbs separable?

TURN phrasal verbs have mixed patterns. 'Turn on/off' and 'turn up/down' are separable ('turn it on', 'turn the volume up'). However, 'turn into' and 'turn to' are inseparable ('turn into something', never 'turn something into'). 'Turn out' when meaning 'result' is inseparable ('it turned out well'), but when meaning 'produce' can be separable.
