to stay over
phrasal verb
To sleep at someone's house for a night
- 1I decided to stay over at my friend's place after the party.
- 2She asked if I could stay over because it was too late to drive home.
When you stay over at someone's house, it means you sleep there for the night. You bring your pajamas and toothbrush, and in the morning you have breakfast with them before leaving. It's like having a sleepover with a friend, but at a grown-up's house.
Remember to always thank your host for letting you stay over. It shows good manners and appreciation for their hospitality. A simple "thank you" goes a long way in making a good impression.
