Could you please write a sentence that has "come up against" in its literal meaning, like while dryving I came up against a fallen tree?

To come up against something means to face a particular problem or obstacle. Here are a few examples: - "The work is being delayed because we came up against some unexpected problems" - "Sorry I haven't been in touch recently, I've just really come up against issues at work the last few weeks" Also, to come up against somebody means to compete: - "Tom will come up against last year's champion in the semi-final of the competition"

We came up against a great deal of resistance in dealing with the case.

I'll go along with what Pierre says, but it isn't something I would ever say. If I was driving and came to a tree that was blocking my way, I would say "while driving, my way was blocked by a fallen tree". Or, if I merely saw the tree but the tree was not blocking me, I would say "while driving, I came across a fallen tree".

As per Pierre’s examples. I would suggest ‘came across’ in your sentence. Also check spelling driving not dryving.
