will it happen to me when I hear All The Way as idiom in the US?

all the way (idiom) – during the whole period of time.

Up is probably a reference to the number 1-ranked rank (for those students in the

second grade) among the other students (until 6th grade). Up is the ability to influence an individual’s self awareness and are expected to improve in other aspects of their school.

All the way means everything (the whole world) or the whole time.

Up refers here to the idea that as you go to school you move trough the grades.

It means “all the way up until fifth grade” means he was the smartest kid from the moment he started school until he’d “moved upwards” to the fifth grade.

The use of “up” in a temporal sense is not uncommon – we seem to like to think as the passing of time as something that moves in the upward direction. Should we grow up as we get older – or at least think of what we are expected to be? 😉

Although “up until” was explained in other answers already, I would like to discuss “up till” a little, along with its function (part of speech).

Similarly to “all the way up until”, if you’ve been reading the words, you need to regroup the words in “all the way”

and “up until” like this: Peter was the best age the 5th grade and I can see why.”

What would be the meaning of the sentence if you could ban all the way to the end and/or replace “up until” with “until”?

Peter was the smartest and only child till fifth grade.
Peter was the smartest kid until the fifth grade. He is still battling depression.
Peter was the smartest kid in the entire universe, until the fifth grade!

What does that word “up until” mean? In Macmillan Dictionary, the terms “up” and “until” are used. Why is “up until” followed by “the fifth grade” is mentioned as a preposition in your sentence?

Up until uses a preposition (followed by a noun): it
