-to grow o to bring up?-

-to grow o to bring up?-
Nota d'uso
Non è corretto tradurre il verbo crescere con “to grow” quando è usato transitivamente nel senso di allevare, educare. In questo caso bisogna utilizzare il verbo frasale “to bring up”: Ho cresciuto quattro figli, I've brought up four children (non I've grown four children).
