Did you know there are several meanings for the English phrasal verb "stand up"?

1) to lift oneself to a standing position
Example: You have to stand up when the bride walks down the aisle to honor her.

2) to support something
Example: Jose says he will stand up for his country during times of war.

3) to not follow through with a plan to meet someone
Example: I had a date with Dave but he stood me up and never came.

In English, the verb "agree" can often cause a little confusion for Spanish speakers. I have heard native Spanish speakers say in English "I am agree" since they say "Estoy de acuerdo".

This is a pretty common mistake, although in English this is not the way we say it.

When we use the verb "agree", we say:

I agree.
You agree.
He/she/it agrees.
They agree.
We agree.

Just a little tip. Hope it helps!

1) "Needless to say" meaning: obvious
Example: It is needless to say that we can't buy a house if we can't even afford a car.

2) "Shape up or ship out" meaning: start behaving or leave
Example: Matt, I have told you eleven times to not throw things in class! Shape up or ship out!

3) "A lemon" meaning: a car or vehicle that has many problems.
Example: The last time I bought a car, I got a lemon. This time when I buy a car I will have a mechanic check it first.

4) "Set in stone" meaning: finalized, already decided
Example: The decision is set in stone, you can't change your mind now.

5) "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." meaning: don't hurt the people who help you
Example: Marsha always helps you clean the house, don't bite the hand that feeds you. You should help her tonight with her school project like she asked.
