Hi Dabidnc, We use "follow" to refer to travel or move behind something or someone. It also means that we pay close attention to something. Example: Follow the car in front of you. / Follow the instructions provided by the instructor. "Follow up" is a phrasal verb which means to perform an action connected with something that happened before. This action can be (i) a continuation of the same previous action (ii) another action to supplement the previous action. (Follow-up can be used as a noun) Example: The hotel manager would like to follow up (phrasal verb) on a complaint by a guest who stayed last week. As a follow-up (noun), I provide my students with quizzes on a regular basis to assess their level of understanding. Hope this helps. Cheers, Lance

Follow -- to chase OR to show support for someone OR pay close attention to something. Ex- The Tiger followed the dear. The nation followed Mahatma Gandhi. Follow up - to ask someone about the status of something you had asked for in past OR to remind someone that something which needs to be done by him/her is still due For Ex -- My boss follows up about my this payment everyday. Can you please follow up with Sergio about the faulty computer? I had given it for repairing 10 days ago, but he hasn't responded.
