In this sentence, 'come over' has the sense of 'come round' or 'visit': why don't you come over for a cup of tea?

Come over where? Sat Aug 18, 2007 19:02 pm  Come over where?
 

Come over seems vague. Come over where?

Come to my home or house sounds complete, doesn't it?

Pls help. Thanks.

No, I'm afraid it doesn't. It has become idiomatic. Just get used to it Smile
