Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 186. The verb phrase today is come

across. Okay. We actually have six meanings and uses of come across today.

未來簡單式

And again just like usual,  you may know one or two of these but you'll be

surprised you probably don't know all six. So let's take a look at the note

here. Here's the first one to find or see someone by chance. Right this one of the

more common ones. You may know this one.  But here's a couple of examples.  I came

across a good sale and I just had to buy it. So this ...  it was unexpected. You weren't

expecting to find this good sale and you found it by chance. Okay. Or the second

one here.  I hadn't seen Bill for two years and just by chance I came across

him at the mall. So again,  so in both cases you find ...  you find someone or

something by chance. Okay. Number two.  To literally cross something.  You know,  like

cross a bridge. Cross a road. All right. So this is a simple one. Come across the

street and meet me in front of the bank.  So maybe you're on the phone with

somebody. Just telling them come across.  You're giving them an order to come,  to

come towards you. Come across the street,  Okay number three here. To meet ones

demands or expectations. All right now.  This one you may not know. Don't expect

the government to compromise. They will never come across to their wishes or

demands. You know,  this might be two countries trying to work something out

and you're talking about it. You don't think that they're going to  work it out.

You don't expect them to come across to meet somebody's demands or wishes.  Okay.

Number four here. To be viewed by other people in a particular way. Okay.

I think he came across as angry. Yes.  Sometimes she could tell about people's

body language. Even though maybe his words were not completely angry,  but he

came across as being a little angry when he gave that speech. Okay. Then we have a

second example here. You should try to come across as charming,

if you want the voters to like you. So if you're a politician that's very

important to try to come across as being charming. Being very likeable. All right

number five here. To deliver as expected or do as promised. Don't expect him to

come across with what he owes you.  Because maybe borrowed money . So you,

you expect him to repay it.  He never repays anyone. So don't expect

him to live up to his word or to his promise. Okay. And number six here. To be

clear in one's message. In  one's speaking. He is not a good speaker.

He just wasn't able to come across well. Okay.  Nobody understood what he was trying to

say. So how you come across with this.  How you express yourself. How you get your

message out. Okay anyway I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time.
