Hello, dear teachers! Can you help me please? My question is: how do "queue" and "queue UP" differ from each other?
P.S. Did I right the question with no mistakes? =)
Thank you! :-)

"Queue up" is simply the more informal version. It is a phrasal verb and so therefore it is more common in spoken language. Also "queue" can also be used as a noun (He stood in the queue) whereas "'queue up" is only a verb.
