Question how I go to understand it

Hi ,how are you . I have three questions .helping me translate three sentences that I cannot understand .as follows: 1,the expiation had been staring him in the face all along. 2,he is not up on english . 3,he is not up in english . Thanks an awesome lot.

Answer #1

I can’t translate, but maybe I can simplify for you…

The expiation had been staring him in the face all along: ‘expiation’ is also known as reparation, payment or making amends, so basically the sentence is stating that the method he could use to make amends has always been available to him.

Your other two sentences mean the same thing - his English is not very good.
