drop by (+ place); drop by + someone's place/the office; drop by for + a coffee/a chat; drop by to + verb
- If you're near the library later, drop by and I'll give you my notes.

- Could you drop by the office tomorrow to sign the contract?
修改原因
修改前If you're free after work, drop by to me for a cup of tea.
修改后If you're free after work, drop by my place for a cup of tea.
用 to me 指明来找谁,看起来似乎合理。但这个拜访表达后面直接接地点:my place、the office、the shop。因此把 to me 改成 my place。
Drop in 意思很接近,但结构不同。拜访某人用 drop in on:I dropped in on my aunt。去某个地方用 drop in at:drop in at the bakery。Drop by 后面则直接接地点,不加介词:drop by the bakery。
动手练习
I'll ___ your flat on my way home and return the umbrella I borrowed.
查看答案
drop by — 你回家途中会去朋友的公寓一趟,空格后又直接是地点 your flat,所以选 drop by。Drop off 用于送某个人或某样东西到某处:I'll drop off your umbrella。不能用 drop off your flat 表达拜访公寓。
邀请朋友来短暂坐坐。使用 drop by,说明哪一天,以及你会把什么东西交给对方。
Drop by on Saturday morning and I'll give you the camping tent you asked about.
