Today write sentences with "call up"

Question

Hello everyone. I think phrasal verbs are some of the most difficult to many English learners because most of them do not have a literal translation. So I have decided to learn one or two phrasal verbs every day. And I know you can help me with that, but you also need to learn Spanish, so please write the sentence in English using the PV then try it in Spanish. Then I will correct your sentence (the Spanish sentence, of course); we will help each other out.If you´re not sure about how to make a good translation, just explain to me(In English) what your Pv means, that will help me make a better traslation.Today write sentences with "call up".
