Three word phrasal verbs are always transitive.

Most (but not all) transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object can come after or between the phrasal verb.

When the object is a pronoun (he, it, me, you…), it has to be between the two words.

When a phrasal verb is inseparable, the object/pronoun comes after the phrasal verb.
