UP Algunas palabras en inglés pueden crear confusión para los principiantes.

Some words in English can be confusing for learners.

This one is to practice the following word UP (adverbio, preposición, verbo, sustantivo)

This word is used in many idiomatic ways in English.

Both native Spanish and English speakers may answer - but write both Spanish and English sentences.

I would appreciate some help in checking the Spanish sentences.

Agradecería una cierta ayuda en la comprobación de las oraciones españolas.

I will "accept" the best effort after about a week.

Every attempt will get a vote.

NOTE - we need 2 sentences one in each language..

Examples:

He helped his grandmother up.

Ayudó a su abuela a levantarse.

I was up late last night.

Anoche estuve levantada hasta muy tarde.

I am fed up with your behaviour.

Estoy harto de tu comportamiento.

Pictures may help to explain the meanings.

I wonder how many meanings / uses we can find.

Futher explanation as to the different meanings / uses may be given.

Please do not suggest new words - but pictures are welcome.
