Fed up
I am fed up by asking continuous questions.
Can I say like this?
Top answer
No. One is fed up "with" something, not "by". You can say this: I am fed up with continually asking questions.
- No.
- One is fed up "with" something, not "by".
- You can say this: I am fed up with continually asking questions.
- Most often we are "fed up" with things outside our control, whereas "asking questions" is apparently under the speaker's control.
- This doesn't mean it's wrong, though, if the speaker feels forced or obliged to do it, but you could consider this instead: I am fed up with having to continually ask questions.
