English Phrasal Verbs (194/365) - Come Around

Image Source

The Faint by Pietro Longhi (1701-1785). The lady seems to be coming around.

To come around means

A) to regain consciousness (especially after a faint)

Example sentence:

  • A soldier fell to the ground after standing for four hours. He came around in a minute.

B) to change one's point of view to accept something that one was reluctant to agree with at first

Example sentence:

  • I came around to their point of view after they presented good arguments.
Sort:  

Or a dad to the daughter's boyfriend might say, "I dont want you to come around here no more" LOL

I hope I'm not going to have to say that a few years from now. lol

The time goes faster than you think, friend.

Well, "idiot" is already in the top five of names my daughter calls me. LOL
