Tom alter, an American Indian Bollywood actor, passed away and above is the sentence taken from the post by Harsha Bholge on his Facebook as a tribute.

I don't understand the part " the passion comes flaming through"?

is "come through" a phrasal verb and flaming an adjective?

  

Top answer

I would say that "come flaming" is a catenative construction, analogous to "come running", for example. "through" could be considered separately adverbial, or you could look at "flame through" as a phrasal verb being the complement of "come".
