I.clock [Brit klɒk, Am klɑk] N

I.up [ʌp] ADJ Up appears frequently in English as the second element of phrasal verbs (get up, pick up etc.). For translations, consult the appropriate verb entry (get, pick etc.).

1. up (high):

VIII.up and down ADV (to and fro)

XIV.up <pres part upping; pret, pp upped> [ʌp] VB trans (increase)

XV.up <pres part upping; pret, pp upped> [ʌp] VB intr inf

See also pick over, pick, get

I.pick over VB [Brit pɪk -, Am pɪk -] (pick [sth] over, pick over [sth])

I.pick [Brit pɪk, Am pɪk] N

2. pick (poke) → pick at

I.get <pres part getting, prét got, pp got, gotten Am> [ɡet] VB trans This much-used verb has no multi-purpose equivalent in French and therefore is very often translated by choosing a synonym: to get lunch = to prepare lunch = préparer le déjeuner.
get is used in many idiomatic expressions (to get something off one's chest etc.) and translations will be found in the appropriate entry (chest etc.). This is also true of offensive comments (get stuffed etc.) where the appropriate entry would be stuff.
Remember that when get is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else (to get a room painted etc.) faire is used in French followed by an infinitive (faire repeindre une pièce etc.).
When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich/drunk etc.) devenir is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry (rich, drunk etc.) as a single verb often suffices (s'enrichir, s'enivrer etc.).
For examples and further uses of get see the entry below.

II.get <pres part getting, prét got, pp got, gotten Am> [ɡet] VB intr
