Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: to catch up What else we need? Ketchup. You go down that aisle. I’ll catch up with you in a minute. But I don’t know what kind of ketchup to buy. Organic!! Duh~~ Well, as you know, I was sick for about two weeks. During that time, I missed many classes and was late with some videos. BUT...finally, I have done everything! My schedule is back to normal. I have "CAUGHT UP". Today we are going to learn the phrasal verb "to catch up". Of course, the past tense would be "caught up". It is VERY useful.
