Default Re: catch up

To catch up with is a phrasal verb.
I'll give you two examples first:

I missed two lessons at school. I have to work hard to catch up with the rest of the class.
= to stay at the same level as

Slow down! You're walking too fast! I have to run to catch up with you!

= to stay at the same speed as

Hope this is useful to you.
