Re: There is a dance up at Crosby's barn tonight.
You are correct in your questioning the use of the word 'up' in this way. On the face of it the useage would seem incorrect and unneccessary. However this is a just a case of common useage. It's just the way native English speakers talk. As we all know, there is the way we learn to speak in English from a text book and the way people speak on the street.eiris wrote:There is a dance up at Crosby's barn tonight.I can't understand why the "up" is here.Could you do me a favor?
