go over

Cross to there

Go over means to review, examine, or discuss something in detail: Let's go over the contract before you sign.

It can mean to rehearse: She went over her lines one more time.

To go over also describes crossing to another place: We went over to their house.

When something goes over well or poorly, it describes how it's received: His joke didn't go over with the crowd.
