I think that the quote is not correct because 'leave out' means 'ommit'.
So, I think that 'He took trash out in the hallways.' is correct rather than it.
But I'm not certain. Could you let me know whether I'm right or wrong with some explanation?
Thanks. |

"Leave out" (inseparable) does mean "omit," but "leave out" (separable) means "let something remain out / outside." _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb |
