  • Each of those two pairs consists of expressions which are nearly the same in usage.
  • We often use "hurry up" when there is no other adverb or prepositional phrase of direction after "hurry", so there's "hurry toward something", "hurry away from something", "hurry back", "hurry into the house", and so on, but if there is no phrase like that, we can add "up" optionally, giving "hurry" or "hurry up".
