PHRASAL VERB FRIDAY: WALK IN ON (SOMEONE)
PHRASAL VERB FRIDAY: WALK IN ON (SOMEONE): meaning and examples
Hello, DV readers! Welcome to the last lesson of the week.
For Phrasal Verb Friday, we are looking at a very interesting three-word phrasal verb: TO WALK IN ON SOMEONE.
Definition: to enter a typically bad situation, unexpectedly.
Example 1: I walked in on my children eating all of the cake I made.
Example 2: She walked in on them while they were talking about her.
Example 3: I walked in on my boss while he was checking his Facebook page.
The most common use of this phrasal verb is for cheating.
Example 4: She walked in on her boyfriend with another woman. Awful!
As you can see, this is a TRANSITIVE phrasal verb. It is NON-SEPARABLE.
Hopefully you NEVER have to use this verb! And hopefully, you have a wonderful weekend.
We will see you on Monday for the last week of DV lessons for the 2016-2017 academic year!
