| Hi dear teachers. I have a question about the phrasal verb '' smile back''. What does it mean? Thanks in advance. |

| As near as I can determine it means to return the smile of another. That is, when someone smiles at you you smile back at them. |

| He smiled back at me He wrote back to me. He gave it back to me. He took the book back for me. (He took the book back to the library for me.) It was quite a scare, and knocked some sense back into him. That course of vitamins has put some life back in me. |

| In fact, I was listing to the Eminem's song ''when I'm gone'': when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back Thank you. |
