Hello! I am Emma from England
If you put these actions in front of you, you will probably tell me
It is simple
They are simple deeds! You know her, right
These are simple actions
But they are somewhat similar to each other
It may be difficult to determine which ones will be used
So in this lesson, we’ll take a closer look
In the differences between them
So you feel more confident when you use them
Am I going?
Or am I?
Both of these actions describe the movement between
Speaker and someone else
Or something else.
But the difference is the direction of movement.
When used Come,
Movement from elsewhere
To where the speaker is located.
And I say another place
It could be the other side of the world
It could be the other side of the room
Did not matter !
What is important is the direction of movement.
From somewhere, to the speaker.
So in this case, it’s me.
If from somewhere, to the speaker.
Are you coming home to dinner tonight?
Are you coming to Melbourne next month?
Tell me when I’m coming to Australia?
Go is usually used when the direction of motion is in
opposite direction .
Where the speaker is located
To another place.
Are you going to Thailand on holiday
If here, the speaker speaks from somewhere else
Not in Thailand
They are not in Thailand at the time of speech
Are you going to party Ben on Friday?
So this will be where you are currently
Or where you usually stay, to Ben’s party
Now if I were at Ben’s party and called you
It is possible to tell
Did you come to Ben concert?
So I would ask if you would move
From where you are to Ben
So I used AT
So far very good, right?
Now you can talk about someone else
This person is not the speaker
Or listener
You are talking about other people
Or something else
Here things may be a bit confusing
Because you might use either come or go
See this example
My mother came to help me
If this is simple
Because I am part of the activity
I came to
But here, my mother went to help my brother
My mother came to help my brother
Now both of these sentences are valid
It is possible to use either an act that comes or goes
But it depends on the point of view
Who is the person associated with this event?
Do I give a description or give information about?
The verb used goes when you take a view
The person who is doing the event
My mother went to help my brother
Amy does the deed
And use an act to come
When you take the recipient’s point of view
The person receiving the event
My mother came to help my brother
If my brother receives help
So we used the Yate verb
Now these two actions will become clearer
With a door
Come to and go to both ways to guide someone
To enter a room or building
But there is a difference
Now we are both outside
If I can tell you, let’s get in
To get out of where we are
For another place or inside
Or when I am inside and you are out
I can tell you enter
Move from where you are, where you are, towards me
Go home
Well, change the context
Are you going to a Sarah wedding?
So this indicates
The speaker will also be present at the ceremony
Are you going to a Sarah wedding?
Now this indicates that speaker
Probably not there
Or maybe they have not decided yet
Are you going to visit your sister?
So this talk is in a place far from the place of the listener
Present
Are you coming to visit your sister?
Here we are talking more specifically
Listener is in a different place
But will move to his sister’s place
The spokesman is also likely to move
I think you understand it
Some differences are really important
To take into account the two acts go and come
I thought they were so simple
But you’ve probably learned
Some of the things about their uses
