How it's used
Focuses on the transition back to a previous, usually better or standard, state. It is often used in formal or written contexts to describe abstract concepts like health, order, or market conditions. In casual speech, people frequently use 去返 or 返嚟 instead to describe physical movement or returning to a state.
Examples
After resting, his energy has recovered quite a bit.
When will you be able to return to a normal life?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean returning to a physical location, as that requires 返. Using it to describe someone coming back home would sound unnatural and overly formal.
