Monday, August 28, 2006

any idea?

what about the differences between the verbs:
pull into
pull in
pull off
pull alongside
pull over
pull up

Anonymous said...: I don't know if I can explain that, but i'll try:

Pull up - somenthing like "stop de car!" >> "Pull up!". Or even "a restaurant next the road", like those that you stop to pee, on a trip.

Pull over - what someone (inside ou outside the car) says when you're driving, an he wants you to park your car.

Pull off - driving, go to the other side of the road.

Pull in - like "pull up" may mean, it's a restaurant like those that you stop to pee, on a trip.

Pull into, I have no idea about the meaning.

Pull alongside...I am not sure about the meaning, like th other one. hehe

Is everything correct?; 10:22 PM
