Many of the most typical expressions in English are verbal phrases, and you hear them all the time. We\u2019ve devoted a lot of time to this subject, such as this <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/phrasal-verbs-and-their-opposites\/\">blog<\/a> by Carol. But a review of our blog\u2019s history finds no reference to the many examples of phrasal verbs using the verb <em><strong>to come<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 and there are a lot of them!<\/p>\n<p>The simple verb <strong><em>to come<\/em><\/strong> means to move forward or toward a space or place. <strong><em>Along<\/em><\/strong> can be a preposition meaning to proceed in a direction, or as an adverb meaning to accompany another. Combined, the phrasal verb <strong><em>come along<\/em><\/strong> means to accompany someone (the speaker) to a particular place or direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conjugation and Phrasal Verbs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You conjugate phrasal verbs just like other verbs, so let\u2019s continue with our example of the phrasal verb<strong> come along<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple Present Tense:<\/strong> I\/You\/We\/They <u>come<\/u> along \u2013 He\/She\/It <u>comes<\/u> along<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple Past Tense:<\/strong> I\/You\/We\/They\/He\/She\/It <u>came<\/u> along<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple Present Perfect:<\/strong> I\/You\/We\/They <u>have come<\/u> along \u2013 He\/She\/It <u>has come<\/u> along<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple Past Perfect:<\/strong> I\/You\/We\/They\/He\/She\/It <u>had come<\/u> along<\/p>\n<p>And so on\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Come along<\/em><\/strong>, therefore, can be used like any normal verb, in any form or tense.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some quick examples:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple past tense:\u00a0<\/strong>I came along with my friends to the movie just to have something to do.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Present Perfect: <\/strong>I have been coming along just fine with my English grammar lessons. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Conditional Past: <\/strong>I would have come along with my brother to the library if he had only asked.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Notice that the verb <strong><em>come<\/em><\/strong> changes, but the word <strong><em>along<\/em><\/strong> remains the same. Whenever a phrasal verb is used as the main verb of a sentence, conjugate the verb part and leave the other words unchanged.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>The Many Phrasal Verb Forms of To Come<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Come across \u2013 <\/strong>To find something by accident<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cI keep coming across old bookmarks whenever I help my mother clean her apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope you don\u2019t come across any wild animals when you walk in the woods.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Come away <\/strong>\u2013 To retreat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cHe came away from that lecture with a new respect for the speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome away with me for the weekend, it\u2019ll be fun!\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Come back <\/strong>\u2013 To return<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWe were late coming back from work because there was an accident on the highway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt comes back to the same question every time I think about changing jobs \u2013 what do I really want to do with my life?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Come out <\/strong>\u2013 To emerge, go to, or become known<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cShe came out as soon as she heard the fire alarm go off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been coming out to this same restaurant since it opened last summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Come over <\/strong>\u2013 To approach or go to<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIf he comes over this way, ask him for his autograph.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve been coming over to visit me ever since I broke my leg.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Come through <\/strong>\u2013 To achieve a result<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the one player on the team who consistently comes through in the clutch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAshley is always coming through with great marketing ideas in meetings.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Come up <\/strong>\u2013 To appear with something suddenly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cI knew he\u2019d come up with a way to improve the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever I suggest going out together, something always comes up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others include: Come apart, Come back, Come before, Come between, Come down, Come for, Come in, Come into, Come together<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a long list.
