This is the comparative form of the adjective high so how can higher Dover possibly make sense?

about preposition up , is it the meaning of made it up "I did something just as I want". Why it is always used in past.

Hello Amiranow,

"To make it up" is often used in the past; but present uses also occur, e.g.

1. Are you making all this up? = Are you inventing all this?

Best wishes,
