Hi Tim, I was really wondering about this subject, because I’ve got a text from a friend saying: “ just checking up on you” when I was feeling sick. So in this case, can I use check in on and check up on? Is there any difference? Thanks a lot

  Hi, Tais. Check out these definitions from the dictionary:
  
  check up on
  to try to discover what someone is doing in order to be certain that that person is doing what they should be doing:
  
  check in on
  to visit, call, or write to them to see if they are OK and/or find out how they’re doing
  
  However, sometimes even native speakers confuse the two. Or maybe this friend was checking up on you to make sure you were taking care of yourself and doing what you should be doing to get better.

Hi Tim!

Currently, I can’t stop by my parents’ house because of the COVID-19. As they are elderly they have to stay safe.

By the way, the expressions “pop in” and “pay a visit” mean the same as “stop by”?

Thanks a lot for your tips.

  Hi, Vera. I am sure they miss you. “Pop in” is the same, very informal. “Pay a visit” is more formal.

Well, I´m not being dramatic, but anyone stopped by to check in on me, these days, I think they´re affraid of stopping by.

By the way Tim, is lockdown or lockup (if I´m not mistaken I´ve heard Presidente Trumo saying people are lockedup…

- Tim Barrett on April 29, 2020 at 16:44
  
  We can say it both ways, I guess, but I mostly hear “lockdown”.
  Reply
- Tim Barrett on April 29, 2020 at 16:45
  
  If you say, “People are locked up in their homes”, it would be similar to saying “Pessoas estão presas em suas casas.”

Hi Tim,
I hope you’re doing well and staying healthy out there!

I’ve got a question, please: I usually hear “check on you,” for instance, instead of “check in on you.”

Here you can see an example:

“I figure you came out here to check on me after my home was broken into and vandalized”

Please, is that also right?
Reply
- Tim Barrett on April 29, 2020 at 14:34
  
  Hi, Cassius. Both expressions basically mean the same. I would say that “check IN on someone” would be more used when the person you are “checking on” is confined. But we end up using them interchangeably.

Hey teacher! I hope that you ok. Eu já vi em um artigo que podemos usar além do “Stop by” o “drop by” , “Drop in” e o “swing by” para falar dar uma passada em algum lugar, mas não consegui entender qual a diferença entres eles ou mesmo quando usa-los. Quando tiver um tempo seria ótimo se você pudesse fazer uma explicação sobre isso pra nós. Muito obrigado! May God bless you!
Reply
- Tim Barrett on June 8, 2020 at 17:54
  
  Olá, Winglite. Sim, posso fazer um podcast sobre isso. “Drop by” é mais informal, tipo “passe lá em quase quando quiser, não precisa convite”. “Swing by” é dar uma passada rápido em algum lugar, geralmente a caminho de outro lugar.
