“Run over XXX” or “run XXX over” Interesting indeed. One can, however, say Please run over it. I wonder if this is more down to the fact that off it is the dominant idiom in that case. I agree with it being a matter of style, hence my comment. |

“Run over XXX” or “run XXX over” This is correct, but putting the preposition to the end is clunky and grates. The reason being it requires the absence of a noun to remove a potential ambiguity, which is not very neat. Consider: We ran the dog over the hill. I would always use We ran over the dog and rephrase it if @Barrie England's ambiguity was an issue. |
