In a recent post I used the words "come up with". Are you familiar with their meaning?
come up with = think of, get (when you don't have something)
I can probably come up with the answer to your question.
(think of)
How am I supposed to come up with money to buy you a new pair of shoes when I don't even have enough money for rent? (get)
How many ways can you come up with to say thank you?
(think of)
As you can see, mostly come up with is used with words like "money", "answers", or ideas you think of in your head.
Can you use it?

There are lots of verbs like this in English which can have a very different meaning when paired with one or more prepositions (in, of, with, etc.). They're called "phrasal verbs" and while they can be hard to learn they are very useful in everyday speech.
