Check sthg vs. check sthg out

Do the meanings of "to check something" and "to check something out" ever overlap?

If so, in what circumstances happen?

Would you please give me some examples?

Thank you

teal lime Do the meanings of "to check something" and "to check something out" ever overlap? Not really. It is possible that the thing you are checking out needed checking after all, but the one does not mean the other.

Sometimes, yes, but not very often.

You might add 'out' to We need to check (out) the engine. (Talking about fixing a problem with a car.)

And less often in this
