Phrasal verbs with work

Do you have a sentence or two in mind? Without context, both have multiple meanings.

Sure!
They are:
1- We can work around your schedule.
2- We can work you in at 1:30 today for an appointment.

1- We can work around your schedule.
2- We can work you in at 1:30 today for an appointment.

The two phrasal verbs are not interchangeable in your examples. In #1 the schedule pre-exists and will not be amended; the task will occur outside ('around') the set schedule. In #2 the schedule itself is being altered with an insertion ('in').

Thanks so

It seems to be true!
And another question I have is what's the meaning of "work up'?
If you answer I'll be obliged.

Good Luck

I'll need a sentence again. Whenever you request the meaning of a word, supply a sentence at least of context.

Ok
this is the sentence: 'I worked up to thirty at a time.'

'Up' is not part of 'work'. It is part of 'up to', which mean 'as much/many as'.

Yeah!
I thought the same as you but in a book, Fluent English' mentioned as a phrasal verb!
So thanks.

Bye
