We grew up a (little) bit? #1 (permalink) Sun Jan 30, 2011 1:11 am   We grew up a (little) bit?
 

Hi,

I'm wondering if the sentence, "We grew up a (little) bit" is correct whereas a little bit is supposed to be used with adjectives...

Regards,
M.

But how should this sentence sound if it was formal? I mean "grew up quite" (I don't know how to say this in English xD)...
