Vocabulary and Grammar!
Pick up

I’ll pick up my prescriptions later.
She picks me up on the weekends.
They’ll pick her up on their way back.
Could
“Could” is a modal verb, which means that it’s used to alter the meaning of the verb that follows. It can be used to make polite and formal requests, to express a past ability or to say that something may or may not happen, a future possibility.

Not only… but also
A structure used to give emphasis to something. Commonly used in formal contexts, usually with a parallelism following. The two parts of the sentence must be related in some way. It’s possible to leave “also” out, without the sentence losing its meaning. To add more emphasis, we can use “not only” at the beginning of a sentence, by inverting the subject and verb. When there’s no auxiliary verb, we use “do”, “does” and “did”.

Figure out
