Hi Amy,
Thank you for 'carried her along'.
Yes, this is one of my favourite :) mistakes with phrasal verbs… I often lose (leave out?) an object, especially when it should be put before particle (inside :) of a transitive phrasal verb).
As for me, it seems completely impossible to keep in memory the loooong list of the phrasal verbs, which could be broken by an object.
This is the list and it isn't full….

O, Dear…
I clearly undestand that fluent language skills are based not on the memorization of plenty of rules, but on the feeling of the language.
I’ve got it for my native language but not for English. As yet, it is just following (to?) the rules… with the hope on... transition… hmm… 'the transition from quantity to quality' :)
Thank you, indeed
Tamara
