    I stumbled across a very old neighbor of mine the other day while shopping.

    She stumbles across with her ex-hubby in the mini market near at her house.

    You know dear, I like discussing with you in English very much. It's my cup of tea! Sometimes I'm wrong and another times you're. But the great thing here is that we exchange our knowledage as we're not English speakers. Love ya my sister!! K&H :)

    It's an idiom Ensie. By the way, it's not necessary to use a pronoun between the phrasal verb's part. For example "look after" is a phrasal verb. Can we say "I love my son, I look him after"? I don't think so. What do you think dear?

      I think it's "stumble across it" I've searched for it and I found "stumble across somebody/something".
      I don't think there is a need for saying "by accident" because "stumble across" means that :)
