comes, came, come, coming
to come into
phrasal verb
To enter a place or situation
- 1As soon as she came into the room, everyone stopped talking.
- 2He came into the meeting late and missed the introduction.
This means to go inside or join something. For example, when you walk through a door and are now inside a room, or when you become part of a group or event. It is about moving from outside to inside, or starting to be involved in something.
Be careful not to confuse "come into" with just "come in","come into" often suggests a bigger change, like entering a new situation, not just stepping through a door.
