pronoun objects must go inside separable phrasal verbs, not the end
("this" is a demonstrative pronoun)

- A pronoun is a word that "points to" a noun, but the same word can mean different nouns in different sentences. ("He" might mean John in one sentence, and Tom in a different sentence.)

Tom drove Tom's car to Tom's sister's school to pick Tom's sister up and drive Tom's sister to Tom and Tom's sister's house.
-> Tom drove his car to his sister's school to pick her up and drive her to their house. (we use pronouns so we don't have to repeat nouns many times)
