Are expressions above correct? If so, do they differ in meaning?
Top answer
There is no difference in meaning, but for me the natural expression is " catch up with ". I can understand the other form, but I would not use it. There is evidence from Google Ngrams that " catch up to" is more common in AmE than in BrE, though it is still much less frequent than " catch up with".
