Hi! How to understand the sentence structure below? And how can "read up on sth. " work as meaning "reading information about sth.", is it a fixed expression? 😨
"To quell nerves, chances are you spent time preparing"
I know the structure works like the typical one "subject+predicate+object (you spent time)", but it gives me a different feeling or tone when reading it. What makes it difficult by saying it in this way? What I will say is "To quell nerves, people may count on the time spending on preparation."😨
