| "I have to hurry to the office"! I suppose Hurry-up is an adjective, and we ought to use verb proceeding to. |

Thank you for dedicating time to reply me but I already knew the answer. My point was your post (#15) where you uttered: "because I have to hurry-up to the office." I wanted to say hurry-up with hyphen is an adjective not a verb, so "because I have to hurry up to the office" must be correct. |

"because I have to hurry-up to the office."
Doesn't seem to be correct ... Rather I think it cab be
1) Because I am in hurry to go to office
or
2) Beacause I am in hurry to leave for office |

'Hurry-up' is not an adjective.
It is similar to: 'come-on'. They are imperative verbs.
An Adjective demonstrates the character on a noun.
good fellow, nice person, beautiful woman, etc. |

I agree with your point of view. Sometimes I use the same method to confirm myself to find out the correctness in dictionaries etc.
One German popular phrase is: 'There is no end to learning'.
Regardful thanks |
