Revising phrasal verbs, I thought that it might be reasonable to itemize those that consist of three parts: a verb, a particle and a preposition.
In List One are included those whose particle and preposition cannot be separated.
In List Two, which is very short so far, are those that also take a direct object after the verb as well as an object of the preposition.
Note: No definitions are provided, only the example sentences--one for each item.

I'd be awfully grateful for any help with adding new items to the lists :-)

To the already mentioned "keep up with" (to do whatever is necessary to stay level or equal with someone or something),
I'm adding this one:
keep up on, which means to continue to know the newest information (about something)
