Yes, I checked in on him yesterday.
I'll check in on my neighbour later because she has been feeling unwell.

Not: check in ‸ someone
Say: check in on someone
Use “on” before the person you are contacting to see how they are.
Build it
How it fits in a sentence.
check in on someone; checked in on someone
Your turn: say it out loud
I'll check in on my neighbour later because she has been feeling unwell.
Say it out loud two or three times, until it feels like yours.
