These are separable phrasal verbs.
          ---------
Noun objects can go inside or outside:
Fill the car up. = Fill up the car.
Pick Johnny up.  = Pick up Johnny.

Pronoun objects must go inside the verb:
Fill it up.  NOT *Fill up it.
Pick him up. NOT *Pick up him.
---
(E)
1 I can't turn them on.
2 I'll drop it off at the service station.
3 Which switch turns it off?
4 What time can I pick it up?
5 Please fill it up. / Fill it up, please.

Usually, all objects go inside phrasal verbs:
Fill the car up.
Fill my gas tank up.
Fill this bottle up.
But sometimes it's better to put the object after the phrasal verb:
* Fill the gas tank in my dad's old car up.
->Fill up the gas tank in my dad's old car.
---
Some phrasal verbs have more than one meaning:
People take off their coats at home.
The plane takes off at 3:00.

Phrasal verbs are difficult because you need to memorize them.

The left rear tire is a little bit flat. Can you fill it up?
("rear" is more common than "back" in this case)
Can you fix it? = Can you repair it?
Can you look at it? = Can you take a look?

regular - midgrade - premium
