sit in

We use [sit in] to mean attend a meeting or discussion without taking an active part in it:

• I really don’t like it when she’s present but says nothing at my meetings. She makes me nervous. [replacing phrasal verb]
  
• I really don’t like it when she attends my meetings but takes no part. She makes me nervous. [replacing phrasal verb]

• I need to be impartial and sitting in as you discuss the staff might be seen as prejudicing my decision.
  
• Fred and I will sit in during the discussion, as this is part of the training.
