    'over' simply refers to the place of the speaker, or to the destination. 'come over here' = come to the place where I am Hope that helps!

    It means that everybody was involved in the grenade battle. To bring everyone to their feet means that they were first sitting down, relaxing, off duty in that moment from fighting, but once the grenade battle began, it was so intense that it required the use of all soldiers, therefore bringing everyone to their feet. In another context you could say that ' the performance of the actors was so impressive that it brought the entire audience to their feet' meaning that the audience literally stood up (from being seated) and began applauding. In both contexts it basically means that the people go from being not involved, to involved (to their feet) and are an active part of what is happening (either returning fire in the battle, or clapping their hands because they were impressed by the performance) Hope this helps!

    Hi Mah. According to the definitions below you can see that they are very similar in meaning. To urge = to advise someone very strongly about what action or attitude they should take To insist = to say very firmly that something must happen or must be done To answer your question ; yes they both mean the same thing, they are synonyms.
