Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 146. Today the verb phrase is to
come into. Of course, this one could have a lot of meanings. We're going to cover five
meanings today and give five examples. Okay. Let's take a look at the first one.
The first one is probably the easiest one that most students might know. If we
say to come in to, we could mean simply to enter into a place. So let's look at the
first example here. She came into the office at 8:30 this morning. So of course, it
simply means she just entered into the office , entered into the building.
All right. Good, let's look at the second one. Sometimes come into means like to
obtain or to get power. So somehow you got the power. The Korean leader Kim Jong
Un came into power after his father died. Yeah. After the father Kim jong-il
died and they had his funeral then he immediately came into power because he
was the son. So it was automatic that's when he came into power. That's
when he got his power. He became the new leader of North Korea. Okay. Let's look at
number three here. It could mean to inherit or to acquire somehow get. Jack came
into possession. So you could come into possession. You could come into money . You
could come into a lot of things this way. Jack came into possession of that
antique when his uncle left it to him in his will. So he inherited it. He got it
somehow. All right number four. To, to reach a higher level of independence or success.
So you could come into this level of success or or more independence. Okay. So
let's look at the example here. Some native tribes will have a rite of
passage ceremony, so a young boy could come into manhood.
Yeah. Probably when he was like a young teenager, they might have some sort of
ceremony for him or maybe he must do some tests or something. So that he
passes from being a boy into being considered a man.
So probably somewhere in his early teens is when he may go through this. In a lot
of these native tribes. Okay, good. So let's look at number five here. If someone
comes into a situation, they have a part in it. Yeah. So it's come into here really
kind of means like to to get involved in it. So we can say her father came into
the plan for this heist because they needed someone who has the skill of
being a safecracker. So maybe somebody asks how did he come into this plan ? You
know, how did he become involved in it ? So they would say he came into the plan
because you know, they were looking for somebody. They needed somebody who was
good at opening a safe. So he came into the plan for this heist because they
needed someone who had the skill of being a safecracker. Yeah. So a safecracker is
somebody who has the skill of opening safes opening safes without knowing the
combination of course. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it.
I hope it was clear. I hope it was informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
