Hear it in real life
Do you fancy going to the pub?
Not really, I'm not up for it tonight.
I'm not up for cooking tonight, so let's order something.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I'm not up for to go out tonight.
Say: I'm not up for going out tonight.
After "up for," use a noun or an -ing form, not "to" plus the base verb.
