TO ::::COME ACROSS::::::
This one is used quite often. This phrase, of course, cannot be taken at its literal meaning of ... crossing a river, or a road...It is used when one meets something, or someone else.
For example, \"I came across this great pair of lace underwear the other day.\" In that sentence, the phrase to COME ACROSS is being used in past tense, and the sentence means that someone has found a pair of undies that they really like. ^^
It can also be used whe you have met someone ....Example ........
\"I came across Kate the other day, she has lost a lot of weight!\" In this case, came across, is to have seen, talked with, or have spent a brief time with another person ....
PS to come across is usually used in the past tense, when you are describing an object or an event to someone else |
