Used when someone is being persistently reminded with good intentions, often by someone close. My mom would keep after me to make my bed every morning.
Pro Tip 2/3
Negative Tone
Can imply annoyance; the person being reminded might feel irritated over time. Please stop keeping after me; I heard you the first time!
Pro Tip 3/3
Repeated Action
Implies a repeated action over a period, not just a one-time reminder. My teacher had to keep after me to submit my project.
