Hi Mirray,
| Code: | | Which is correct, "come into work" or "come in to work"? |
It depends where the speaker is. If you are asking someone at home to come to their/your place of work, you would say: Come into work if you are feeling all right or stay at home if you are unwell.
If you see someone in their/your place of work and you want to know if they intend to work, you would ask: Have you come in to work (have you come in (in order) to work?) or are you just visiting?

Hello Alan,
I know it might sound stupid, but why not '... or you are just visiting?'
Best regards |

Hi,
| Quote: | | '... or you are just visiting?' |
sounds a bit unnatural to me.

| What does the idiom 'barking up the wrong tree' mean? | I guess the comma after the word 'elect' was a typo. |
