Phrasal verb TAKE (sth) UP
Hi there!
I don't know if "to take up" would be a common phrasal verb to English speakers. Is it used frequently?
Examples:
- I want to do kickboxing again. I'll take it up the next month.
- I took up my studies at the university one year ago.
Could someone make me a sentence with this phrasal verb please?
Thankssssss!!!! Have a good day!

Yes, take sth up is perfectly good English, though it's quite informal (you wouldn't use it in an essay).
"I want to do kickboxing again. I'll take it up next month" (note: you don't need "the")
"I took up running three months ago"
This Cambridge dictionary entry has some good examples: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/take-sth-up
