用法筆記

Common in imperatives and negative constructions. The transitive sense ('hurry someone') always requires a direct object — you cannot say 'hurry him up' without 'up' for the transitive sense; 'hurry' alone as a transitive verb is less common in modern English outside fixed phrases ('Don't hurry me').

常見錯誤

❌I hurried him to finish' (meaning I told him to go faster).
✅I hurried him up / I told him to hurry up.
💡The transitive use without 'up' is possible but sounds dated; modern English prefers 'hurry someone up.'
