What kind of error is it?

Followup or follow-up. What's correct?

Spelling/Compound Word Error

Why do people make this mistake?

People often mistakenly combine "follow" and "up" into one word due to the frequent use of compound words in English.

What is correct?

"Follow up" is correct when used as a verb, while "follow-up" should be used as a noun or adjective.

Examples of correct usage

  • I need to follow up on the email I sent yesterday.
  • Let's schedule a follow-up meeting next week.
  • The follow-up actions will be documented in the report.
