hand in

He has already handed it in. it�s great that he handed his competition entry in. Is it separable or not? If you say, it´s up to you, is it too colloquial, how do you say you decide in a formal way? thanks

It is separable! You can separate or not and it would be fine.

It �s your choice/ you decision; it �s your duty/ your responsibility |

HI, WH! YES, THE VERB HAND IN IS SEPARABLE SO IT �S PERFECTLY CORRECT TO SAY " HE �S ALREADY HANDED IT IN " AND I �D SAY "IT �S YOUR DECISION" IF YOU DON �T WANT TO SOUND SO COLLOQUIAL. HAVE A GOOD AFTERNOON! |

"It �s up to you." - would be every day English. Not exactly "informal" though. "It �s your decision" is another alternative.
