Line up, huh? That’s a tough one. I’d say we use this expression a lot for situations that are probably the same or similar to natives but may seem different for non-natives. Here it goes…
To line up means to put things in a line.
Teacher to kids:
Alright, everyone line up against this wall so I can make sure we are all here and then we can get on the bus and go on the field trip.
I have four meetings lined up back to back this morning, it’s going to be a tough day.
I don’t know why but my niece loves to line all her toys up when she plays with them.
⚽️:
You missed the shot because you rushed it. If you had lined it up first you would have easily scored, the goal was wide open.
It’s also a noun: the result of lining things up:
There are at least 3 people in the line-up that look like the bank robber, I don’t want to tell the police an innocent person did the crime
The line-up for the show is artist 1, artist 2, artist 3 and then the finale is artist 4
The starting line-up for a sporting event is the names of the players that will be actively playing when the game starts. The line-up is all the plays that could play during the game.
Get it? Or do you have preguntas?

I just have una pregunta:
“...so I can make sure we are all here and then...”
Is it correct to say “we all are...”?
Yes? No? Pourquoi?

@PaulaRubio0
Is it correct? I believe so, it’s certainly natural
Pourquoi? Well, I think “we all” would be like “they all” or “you all” so it just becomes a two-word pronoun and then there would be nothing special about “PRONOUN are…”
Someone that really knows English, like el buen RonnieT, would probably be able to give you a better and more confident technical answer though lol
Pourquoi ?* (there’s a space before a ?, although I think this rules isn’t respected often in casual texting)
