I _________ up a small hut in the backyard.

I _________ up a small hut in the backyard.

We __________ up the flags on a national holiday.

We ___________ up at a small hotel just on the edge of the town.


Is 'hang' the answer for the blanks?


Thank you so much in advance.

No. Have you ever tried to hang up a small hut?!

For your information, in my opinion, sentence 3 is a rather uncommon use of this phrasal verb. It's correct but I haven't heard it used this way for many years.

No, it means we "stayed at" a small hotel. It's the same as "Our friends put us up at their house for two weeks". "To put up" means to provide or to take advantage of "bed and board".
