My friends are going out for lunch and ask me to go with them.
I haven't finished my work. I will follow them 10 minutes later.
Normally, what will you say? beside "I will follow you later."

4"I'll catch up with you" is fine, "I'll catch you up" doesn't sound right. – Fr0zenFyr May 5 '12 at 6:15

2"I'll catch you up" does sound correct to my British ear, we say it in normal conversation. This is partly because "I'll catch up with you" has the alternate meaning of "I will get together with you later to go over the things I have missed". – Matt E. Эллен♦ May 5 '12 at 9:37

3"I'll catch you up" sounds wrong to my American ear. I think most of us in the U.S. would say, "You go ahead. I'll catch up with you." – JLG May 5 '12 at 14:56

2@MattЭллен Fascinating difference, as here in the US "I'll catch you up" generally has the "I will later give you the information you missed", while "I'll catch up with you" means "you go ahead and I'll soon join you". – Matthew Frederick May 6 '12 at 11:21
