ACROSS

The word ‘across’ is most often a preposition.  It can also be a locative adverb or adverb particle.

Often the meaning is ‘opposite’:

We‘ll be right across from you.

Tagging doesn’t always get it right.  THIS IS NOT A PHRASAL VERB (come across something).  For example:

Police think the single shot came from across the street.
