مرور کلی
face up to نمیکنید، بلکه با این حقیقت که به قهوه سرد اعتیاد دارید و هیچ پساندازی ندارید face up to میکنید.facing up to میکنند.face up to کنید، نمیتوانید رشد کنید.face up to کنم». اینطور طبیعیتر و از نظر احساسی تأثیرگذارتر به نظر میرسد.این گرامر چطور کار میکنه
face up to یک فعل عبارتی گذرا (transitive)، جدانشدنی و سه قسمتی است. بیایید این را باز کنیم. «گذرا» یعنی به مفعول نیاز دارد.face up to کنید. «جدانشدنی» یعنی این سه کلمه (face, up, to) باید مثل بهترین دوستان در یک مهمانی همیشه کنار هم بمانند.face + up + to + [اسم/اسم مصدر]. چون به یک حرف اضافه (to) ختم میشود، هر فعلی که بعد از آن بیاید باید به صورت -ing (اسم مصدر) باشد. به عنوان مثال: «باید با از دست دادن امتیاز متوالیات در دولینگو face up to کنی».faces, faced, is facing و has faced داشته باشید. up و to هرگز تغییر نمیکنند؛ آنها ستونهای ثابت این عبارت هستند.must یا should استفاده میشود. دیدن آن در حالت امری («Face up to it!») نادر است چون کاملاً پرخاشگرانه به نظر میرسد. معمولاً جنبهی تفکر یا نصیحت دارد.

اشتباهات رایج
to است. زبانآموزان اغلب میگویند «باید با حقیقت face up کنم». این اشتباه است. بدون to معنا از بین میرود. اشتباه دیگر، اشتباه گرفتن آن با صرفاً face است. در حالی که «face the truth» از نظر دستوری درست است، «face up to the truth» لایهی اضافی از جدال درونی را اضافه میکند. face اغلب بیرونی است (مواجهه با یک چالش)، در حالی که face up to درونیتر است (پذیرش حقیقتی که نمیخواستید ببینید). برای چیزهای مثبت از آن استفاده نکنید. گفتن «باید با این حقیقت که زیبا هستم face up to کنم» طوری به نظر میرسد که انگار فکر میکنید زیبا بودن یک بار سنگین است، که ممکن است شما را کمی خودشیفته نشان دهد. همچنین قانون اسم مصدر را به یاد داشته باشید. نگویید «She faced up to lose her job». باید بگویید «She faced up to losing her job». کلمهی to در اینجا یک حرف اضافه است، نه بخشی از یک مصدر با to. اگر با آن مثل یک مصدر برخورد کنید، شبیه یک مبتدی به نظر خواهید رسید، و ما در سطح C1 نمیتوانیم اجازه دهیم این اتفاق بیفتد!مقایسه با الگوهای مشابه
