Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 146. Today the verb phrase is to

To-infinitive

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.
