Writer's Note
"Back up" is a phrasal verb that is transitive, intransitive, and can also be separable.
- Transitive - A transitive phrasal verb needs an object to complete its meaning. In the examples below ask yourself what is being "backed up". If you can answer, that’s your object.
Example 1: You need to back up your argument with solid evidence.
Example 2: I always back up my files during a big project.
Example 3: She refused to back up his story because it simply wasn’t true. - Intransitive - An intransitive phrasal verb doesn’t need an object. The meaning is complete on its own.

Example 2: When I saw the bear, I instinctively backed up a few steps.
Example 3: As the crowd grew aggressive, the security guards backed up toward the exit. - Separable - Some phrasal verbs are separable, meaning you can put the object in the middle.
Example 1: He slowly backed the car up into the driveway.
Example 2: Can you back that claim up with real data?
Example 3: Our coach has always backed his team up when things go wrong.
*Tip: But if the object is a pronoun, like "them" or "it", you must put it in the middle.
