I come to give you a gift.


Anything wrong with the sentences above?

Thanks

Hi Missdaredevil,

I think the first one is fine. More usual, probably, is, "I came to..."

The second one is a very natural-sounding sentence.

Hope that helps.

What is the meaning of *breaking loose*?
*escaping*?


Thanks

Yes, either in a physical way or in a metaphorical way - like breaking loose from an unhealthy friendship.
