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.
   
Intransitive - Ini tidak memerlukan objek.
Example 1: Could you drop by the store for eggs?
Example 2: I’ll drop by your office later.

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.
   
Inseperable - Anda tidak dapat memisahkannya dengan objek, karena tidak ada objek.
Contoh 1: Mengapa kamu tidak drop by kapan-kapan?
Contoh 2: Dia dropped by kemarin untuk menyapa.

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.
Penggunaan yang Salah:
Contoh 1: ❌ I’ll drop your house by.
Contoh 2: ❌ She dropped the shop by.
Ini secara tata bahasa tidak benar — objek tidak bisa berada di tengah.
