Hi,
Which one of the following sentences is more appropriate?
1. Thanks you. When I meet him next time I will let him know that you were checking up on him.
2. Thanks you. When I meet him next time I will let him know that you were checking in on him.
Thanks,
MG.
",Checking in on someone", means that you want to see if someone is okay. e.g. I'll check in on Mr. Jones today and see if he has enough food for the week.
Thanks. I am assuming I can use the term 'checking in on' even if I want to know if a person is financially okay.
Even so, usually it would mean physically okay - When the temperature drops, check in on your elderly neighbors to make sure they are warm enough.
Thanks. One of my friends lost his job a month back. Somebody was inquiring about him.
As such, I was wondering whether 'check up on ' or 'check in on' was appropriate here.
If your friend A lost his job and your friend B asked you about A, then B did not check in on A. He simply asked about him. Another (perhaps regional?) use is "asked after him."
I'll tell Peter you asked after him = I will tell Peter that you wanted to hear whether he was doing okay.
