Came to in?

[Talab1234]

“When I came to in the lobby in the evening, there were tons of people gathered around...”: This form is appropriate if you passed out and are regaining consciousness


I saw this sentence on a language website.


Is it grammatically correct to say? What does “ came to in” mean?

 

[Barque]

It's to be read as "When I [came to] [in the lobby]..."

"Came to" is a phrasal verb (if that's the right term) meaning "regained consciousness". He was in the lobby when he came to. He came to, in the lobby.

"Came to" is a phrasal verb (if that's the right term) meaning "regained consciousness".

It fits the standard definition of a phrasal verb= the meaning does not come from the dictionary definitions of the individual words.
