Dear Teachers,
1) Run up against.
- What does this mean?
2) The problem was soon behind him.
- This means " the problem was soon defeated by him", right?
3) He's busy with his cooking.
- This means " He busies himself with his cooking", right?
4) They're quite shaken up at the accident.
- What does this mean?
Thanks very much.
