Put these things up on the closet
Hi everyone.
Which sentence is correct?
1) Put these things up the closet.
2) Put these things up on the closet.
I think 2) is correct. but I can't explain why.
If 2) is in fact correct, I am hoping somebody could tell me why it would be so.
Do 'put' and 'up' form a phrasal verb here? and is this why 'up' can be immediately followed by an other preposition 'on' ? ,or is this just a combination of two preposition 'up'+'on'
Lastely, what is the difference between 'upon' and 'up' 'on' separately?
Thank you so much in advance
