It is an example of why people learning English have so much trouble. Learning the nuances of English makes it a difficult language. [/FONT][FONT=&quot].....
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is[/FONT][FONT=&quot]'UP.'[/FONT][FONT=&quot]It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?

At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election.Why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polishUP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car. At other times this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses...
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special!
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. [/FONT][FONT=&quot] We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP aboutthe word UP !

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the wordUP in the dictionary.. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many waysUP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't giveUP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, the earth soaksitUP.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap this UP [/FONT][FONT=&quot]for now because my time is UP![/FONT][FONT=&quot]Oh...[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Don't screw UP. Send this on to whomever you look UP in your address book... It's UP to you![/FONT][FONT=&quot]Now I think I'll shut UP.Whew!!![/FONT]
