Be/get up with the lark British old-fashioned verb phrase
To get up in the early hours
I really admire you! You're always up with the lark every single day.
I should go to bed now since I have to get up with the lark tomorrow for the exam.
1. Someone who is particularly active and alert in the early morning hours is more likely to succeed.
2. Used to say that the person who seizes an opportunity at the earliest point in time has the best chance of receiving its benefits.
The verb "be/get" should be conjugated according to its tense.
The phrase derived from the morning singing of the lark from the 16th century. People who get up early are usually referred to as "larks", while people who go to be late are described as "owls". The phrase is first recorded in John Lyly's Euphues.
Do you see anything wrong?
This phrase is used to describe something very modern or updated or something that no longer looks like what it's used to.
It has been a long time since I left my high school, and now I have to admit that it's certainly not your father's high school anymore.
