Uh, there's nothing wrong with these sentences that contain phrasal verbs. Here are the rules for phrasal verbs that 1) are transitive, and 2) the particle can be separated from the verb:
The
object can either go
after the phrasal verb:
Hang up your clothes.
I turn on the light.
Or it can be placed
in between the verb and the particle:
Hang your clothes up.
I turn the light on.
However, when an
object pronoun is used, it can only be placed
in between:
Hang them up.
I turn it on.
