Drop by

Writer's Note

Places you may "drop by" refers to locations you might make a quick, casual visit to, usually for a brief chat or to pick up something without needing to plan ahead. These places could be a friend's house, a local coffee shop, the grocery store on the way home, a coworker's desk, a nearby park, a bakery for a treat, or a community center depending on your routine and where you are located.

"Drop by" is a phrasal verb that can be used as an intransitive and inseparable verb.

1. Intransitive - It does not need an object.
   Example 1: Could you drop by the store for eggs?
   Example 2: I’ll drop by your office later.
   
अकर्मक - इसे किसी कर्म (object) की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
उदाहरण 1: क्या आप अंडे के लिए स्टोर पर drop by कर सकते हैं?
उदाहरण 2: मैं बाद में आपके ऑफिस drop by करूंगा।

2. Inseperable - You cannot split it with an object, because there is no object.
   Example 1: Why don’t you drop by sometime?
   Example 2: He dropped by yesterday to say hi.
   
अविभाज्य - इसे किसी वस्तु के साथ विभाजित नहीं किया जा सकता, क्योंकि यहाँ कोई वस्तु नहीं है।
उदाहरण 1: Why don’t you drop by sometime?
उदाहरण 2: He dropped by yesterday to say hi.

3. Incorrect Usage:
   Example 1: ❌ I’ll drop your house by.
   Example 2: ❌ She dropped the shop by.
   These are grammatically incorrect — object can’t go in the middle.
Incorrect Usage:
Example 1: ❌ मैं आपके घर पर drop by करूंगा।
Example 2: ❌ वह दुकान पर dropped by गई।
ये वाक्य व्याकरण के अनुसार गलत हैं — वस्तु बीच में नहीं आ सकती।
