They went up to the university

Hello,

Is it more formal to use "go up" and "come down"? I think it's just old-fashioned

By the way would you please teel tell me what do you mean by "To the amusement of my better half"?

When I use such expressions, I bring a sardonic smile to the face of her who must be obeyed, 'er indoors, the missus, the wife, Mrs fivejedjon.

She is, regrettably, of a lower social class than I

once I asked a english teacher why they added the (up) he tell me that it is for emphasize
but on the dictionary says the same told by fivejedjon

[laurinha88]

can someone give me a quick opinion on that?

Fivejedjon's and the dictionary are right about the phrase, but it's not used much nowadays. I can't see that up adds emphasis- not without more context.

Please see the amendments I have made to your post in red. Be careful with your use of capital letters and punctuation. Thank you.

Okay, thank you so much for the explanation, and excuse me for the mistakes, I didn't check my post before submitting it.

Thank you.
