Phrasal verbs with "come"

I tried to use these phrasal verbs and make a bit more complex sentences, but maybe they are impossible to understand hahaha. Do you think they are used naturally? Give some feedback if you don't mind!

1.Much as we deny our nature, we need one another if we want to thrive, and here is where empathy and kindness come in. Yet, many come at them as weakening traits.
2. “The summit is chaired by the PM and, for it to function well, you need to have permission to come in” - the assistant said.
3. Rumor has it the party came out with the documents were misplaced. So quite normal the party is coming in for a lot of criticism. They didn’t come up to the minimum standards of credibility..
4. He saw the gang coming at him with sticks with the firm decision of beat him up. They stopped where his shadow stretched out no further, and before doing nothing they said: you would come off better if you weren’t so quarrelsome, boy”.
5. The picture is coming on quickly, but it doesn’t come across well the meaning you had in mind.
6. Last environmental policies came through and came into force amid such convoluted political frame. Nonetheless, they are coming under a thoughtful scrutiny.

Phrasal verbs with "come"

I'm not sure exactly what this means. Do you mean "common expressions with 'come'", or maybe "The phrasal verb 'come'"?

I tried to use theseis phrasal verbs and to make my sentences a bit more complex sentences, but maybe they are impossible to understand hahaha.

I believe we are talking about just one "phrasal verb" – "come" – so it should be singular.

For some reason, "a bit" makes this sentence format ("a bit more complex sentences") sound odd, so I rearranged it to make it sound more natural. Alternatively, you could say something like "...and make SLIGHTLY more complex sentences".

Do you think they are usesound naturally?

Alternatively: "Do you think they are being used naturally?", or "...being used naturally here?"

"they are used" makes this sound very general – that is to say, do they get used naturally in general (across the English-speaking world). But I'm pretty sure you mean whether the verbs in this specific post are being used naturally.

Rumor has it the party came out withsaying the documents were misplaced.

The image in my head is that this is, perhaps, a political party, and a representative is speaking to the news about some missing documents. In this case, you want to think of it as if they are LITERALLY coming out (of, say, a building or office) to say something or carry something.
"Rumor has it the party came out saying that the documents were misplaced."
"Just last week, my favorite band came out with a new album!"

So quite normalas expected, the party is coming in for a lot of criticism.

They didn’t come up to the minimum standards of credibility.. 4.

He saw the gang coming at him with sticks with the firm decisionand a strong desire of beating him up.

"Decision" and "desire" are somewhat similar, but "decision" implies more careful consideration.

They stopped where his shadow stretched out no further, and before doing noanything they said: you woul"You'd come off better if you weren’t so quarrelsome, boy”.

"before doing nothing" is what happens before you stand in place awkwardly doing nothing.

In some dialects of English, I believe double negatives like "I ain't doing nothing" can work, but in the English I speak and understand at least, there is a very important difference between "nothing" and "anything".

The picture is coming on quickly, but it doesn’t come across well the meaning you had in mind doesn't come across well.

I'm not completely sure what the first part is supposed to mean. I'm assuming we aren't talking about a literal photograph or image.
Do you mean something like "a picture is quickly forming in my head"?

The second part works, but I usually hear "doesn't come across well" at the END of the clause, and hearing it at the beginning or in the middle sounds a little weird.

LThe last environmental policies came through and came into force amid sucha very convoluted political framlandscape.

By "frame", do you mean the overall political environment (of a country)? In that case, I'm more likely to say "landscape" or "environment". "Situation" could also work, though it would be a bit more casual.

Also, "such" and "very" almost mean the same thing, but I hear "such" used more often in either much simpler statements ("That's such a cute dog!") or in statements using contrasting conjunctions like "despite". Example: "...and came into force despite such a convoluted political landscape."
"Such" feels a bit stronger than "very".

Nonetheless, they are coming under a thoughtful scrutiny.

An idiom I've often heard that uses a similar format is "come under fire", which literally means to be shot at (usually in a war setting), but figuratively means to be criticized harshly, often by a large group of people.

"That celebrity's really coming under fire for those comments he made, huh?"

I think it's a really good idea to practice usages of common verbs like this. It'll help you sound a lot more natural, for sure. And you've got a good understanding of most of it so far! Keep up the good work!

"Phrasal verbs with come" does make sense FYI -- phrasal verbs are when a verb is paired with a preposition to have a different meaning, and OP used that term correctly!

Oh, wait, now I get it! So a "phrasal verb" is actually an entire expression, like "come to" or "come in", not just the verb "come". I'd actually never heard of this term before now.
