Many German verbs consist of a base verb + a separable prefix (auf-, ab-, an-, aus-, ein-, mit-, vor-, zu-, zurück-, etc.). In a main clause, the conjugated base verb takes position 2, and the prefix splits off and moves to the very end: Ich stehe um sieben auf (aufstehen); Er kauft das Buch ein (einkaufen); Sie ruft ihre Mutter an (anrufen). The prefix and base are written as one word in the infinitive but split in any clause where the base verb is conjugated.
