CATCH UP (WITH SOMEONE): meaning and examples
Good morning everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend.
Today we continue looking at words and expressions that were recorded from the last English Immersion in the Coromina Hotel in Viladrau (http://www.xaletcoromina.com/).
Today's expression is: to catch up (with somone)
Meaning 1: moving faster in order to reach someone who is ahead of you.
Example 1:
Eric: Are you ready to go to lunch?
Alice: Yeah...in a few minutes; first I have to finish this report. Why don't you go and get the table. I'll catch up with you in a few minutes.
Meaning 2: to reach the same level or standard as someone who was better or more advanced before.
Example 2:
After missing almost a year of class due to his accident, he had to work very hard to catch up with the other students.
