Hello,
I read a few sentences which were a bit confusing..Please help me..
1. There are a few seats up in the front. Please move forward.
Of course, I understand the meaning of the above sentence. But, what is the need of 'up' in the sentence.
Similarly,
2. Please pass them out to everyone.
Please let me know, What is the need of 'out' in this sentence. Could it just not be pass them to everyone.
Pass out means to faint, right?? So, is pass out used as a phrasal verb which also means to distribute:-?
Kindly, give me an explanation on these sentences and a few other example sentences would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Shaan
