    Catch up means to get back at pace. The best way to describe it is like this; imagine you and a friend are walking on the side walk, you're friend begins to walk a bit faster. In return you speed up to make sure you are with your friend. The act of getting back to where your friend was is catching up. Keeping up would be to stay with your friend the whole time.

    Yes, we have a name for this in English and it is called 'personification' and that is to apply human traits to non-human subjects. You could call a rock a he if you really wanted to.

    Generally speaking the traditional shop will have higher quality goods since it would not be feasible for them to buy in bulk.

    In this case, what is being done is what will help both of you, which makes it a mutual benefit, or beneficial to both of you. This is a huge distinction because to complement means that two or more things work well together rather a mutual benefit which means two or more people can work together for similar goals.

    It's a way to say what you're doing doesn't have much effect. In other words, the person's punch doesn't really hurt much.
