Good morning.
Yesterday we looked at the expression TO KEEP UP (WITH), meaning to go at the same velocity or speed as someone. Today we will look at a different meaning of this expression.
Today's expression is: To keep up
It means: to maintain or not stop; to continue.
Example 1:

In Example 1, Ron is worried about having enough money to continue paying every month.
