Question

catch
  up

Accepted Answer

to come
  level (with) and sometimes overtake: We caught him up at the corner although
  he was walking very fast. Ask the taxi-driver if he can catch up with that
  lorry. We waited for him to catch up. 2 to do or finish what has not been
  done but which ought to have been: I'll not be able to catch up with my work
  now. She had a lot of schoolwork to catch up on after her illness. I''ll try
  to catch up with the rest of the class(=do the work that they have done) 3 to
  take hastily: I caught up my cases and dashed to the railway station but I
  missed the train.
