Try To Keep Up, will you?

To keep up with someone/something means to try to match their pace. The pace can relate to their speed, progress, societal change or the flow of information. If you don't keep up with someone, you are slower or there is information you are failing to receive. This can also be called, falling behind.

Examples:

#1) My son ran in a marathon, but he is slow and can't keep up with the others.
#2) The boy tried to keep up with his older brother and his friends, but they walked too quickly for him.

#3) The teacher spoke quickly and the students couldn't keep up with him.
#4) Even though I was sick, my friend brought my homework to me and I kept up with the class.

#5) I visit news websites every morning and evening because it's important to keep up with the news.
#6) Between her work and family, she is too busy to watch the news and she doesn't keep up with it.

#7) My mother is older now, but she reads fashion magazines and keeps up with modern trends.
#8) I think fashion is superficial and I don't keep up with it.

#9) Try to keep up, will you? (Try to maintain the same pace.)
#10) Keep up the good work! (Your work is good. Continue doing good work.)
