-----------------------------
Are they all grammatical? Are there any errors in usage? Do you have some more verbs which have similar meanings?

Answer 1

All are grammatically correct, but 4 and part of 5 and 6 don't make good sense.

4. I understand visiting his uncle, but why would he visit the house?

5. I understand dropping by the bakery, but not dropping by his grandma.

6. I understand coming by the bakery, but not coming by his grandma.

How can you fix those three things?

Answer 2

4. He visited his uncle.
5. He dropped by the bakery.
6. He came by the bakery.

Answer 3

Yes.

3 and 4 are the same.

5 and 6 are now fine.
