Dear teachers,

Could you check if I used the phrasal verb correctly in the sentences?

- I am very delighted to see our nicely spruced up office.

- The park are sprucing up with nice rustic benches.

- I must spruce up a bit for my interview tomorrow.

Thank a lot

  • I like how you spruced up the place.

We don't use intensifiers like "very" with "delighted".
 
bhaisahab, thanks for correcting me.

Ok, I'll change it to so

I am so delighted to...
