a | I certainly do like your idea! I'll dream up it. |
b | I certainly do like your idea! I'll dream it up. |
c | I certainly do like your idea! I'll up dream it. |
d | I certainly do like your idea! Up I'll dream it. |
comment | The majority of transitive phrasal verbs are separable. Therefore, we can place the particle before the noun objects or after them. But we should remember that if a pronoun is a direct object then the particle always goes after it: I dream it up (correct) / I dream up it (wrong). |
