Exactly bruh.. The object coming in between the verb and particle
You mean particle? Phrasal or particle verbs are made up of a verb and one or a verb, particle and preposition. Some are separable whereas others are not. Come off is not separable. You can't say come something off. The object is always after the particle in that particular phrasal verb.
Yeah, exactly my point. The 'predicate' was an error
