Overview
come across का मुख्य अर्थ है। यह उन फ्रेसल वर्ब्स (phrasal verbs) में से एक है जो आपको एक किताबी छात्र के बजाय एक नेटिव स्पीकर की तरह बोलने में मदद करते हैं। इस गाइड में, हम देखेंगे कि come across का उपयोग कैसे किया जाए।come across एक फ्रेसल वर्ब है। यदि आप अंग्रेजी में नए हैं, तो फ्रेसल वर्ब केवल एक क्रिया (जैसे come) और एक प्रीपोज़िशन या एडवर्ब (जैसे across) का मेल है। साथ में, वे एक बिल्कुल नया अर्थ बनाते हैं जिसका शारीरिक रूप से सड़क «आने» या «पार करने» से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है।come across का उपयोग दो मुख्य तरीकों से करते हैं। पहला है किसी चीज़ को ढूंढना या किसी से बिल्कुल अचानक मिलना। आप उसे खोज नहीं रहे थे, लेकिन वह वहां मिल गया। यह अंग्रेजी भाषा का «ओह, देखो मुझे क्या मिला!» वाला भाव है। दूसरा तरीका पहली छाप (first impressions) के बारे में है। यह बताता है कि आप दूसरों को कैसे लगते हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, यदि आप ज़ूम पर जॉब इंटरव्यू दे रहे हैं और आपने नीचे पजामा पहना है (चिंता न करें, हम सभी ने ऐसा किया है), तो आप एक पेशेवर के रूप में come across (दिखना) चाहते हैं, भले ही आपकी बिल्ली डेस्क के नीचे आपके पैरों पर हमला कर रही हो।find शब्द का उपयोग करना थोड़ा उबाऊ है। Come across भाषा में स्वाद जोड़ता है। यह सुनने वाले को बताता है कि खोज एक आश्चर्य थी। यह «मुझे मेरी चाबियाँ मिल गईं» (जिन्हें मैं खोज रहा था) और मुझे मेरा पुराना गेमबॉय come across (अचानक मिल गया) (जिसके बारे में मैं भूल गया था) के बीच का अंतर है।How This Grammar Works
I came a book across। यह सुनने में बहुत अजीब लगेगा। आपको हमेशा
come और across को एक-दूसरे के ठीक बगल में रखना चाहिए: come across + [वह चीज़ जो आपको मिली]।come वाले हिस्से को बदलते हैं। Across बिल्कुल वैसा ही रहता है। यह एक वफादार कुत्ते की तरह है जो कभी अपने मालिक का साथ नहीं छोड़ता।- वर्तमान: मैं अक्सर इस शहर में अच्छे कैफे
come across(अचानक पाता हूँ)। - भूतकाल: मुझे कल एक अजीब ट्वीट
came across(अचानक मिला)। - भविष्य: आप इस गेम में कई चुनौतियों का
come across(सामना/अचानक मिलना) करेंगे।
come across (पार/सामना) क्यों की? क्योंकि उसे दूसरी तरफ व्याकरण की एक किताब मिली जिसे वह नहीं खोज रहा था! (ठीक है, मैं पढ़ाने तक ही सीमित रहूँगा, वादा करता हूँ।)
Formation Pattern
come across का उपयोग करना बहुत आसान है। अपने वाक्य बनाने के लिए इन चरणों का पालन करें:
come जोड़ें (सही काल और व्यक्ति के लिए कंजुगेटेड)।
across जोड़ें।

Yes, but only if you find it by accident while doing something else. If you are actively searching for it, use `found`.
It is neutral. You can use it in a casual text message or a formal business report. It is very versatile.
`Stumble upon` is more informal and emphasizes the 'clumsy' or highly accidental nature of the find. They are very similar.
No. This is a common mistake. You should say `I came across a friend`. No 'with' is needed.
No, we don't usually use it in the passive. We don't say 'The photo was come across by me.'
Yes! You can `come across an idea` in a book or `come across a problem` in a project.
It comes from the idea of your path 'crossing' the path of the object or person by chance.
Yes, mainly for the 'impression' sense: 'He is coming across as very helpful today.'
