Hi Guys,
Today I want to talk about another common mistake. Often, English learners can get confused when using “COME” and “GO.”
As an example, I will ask you a question:
Which one of these is correct?
1) I am going home.
2) I am coming home.
And the correct answer is…
…both 1 and 2 are correct!
Of course, both are not always correct. It depends where the listener is located.
If the speakers are in 2 different locations, then use COME.
P1 + LOCATION = COME –> P2 + LOCATION
If the speakers are in the same location, use GO.
P1 + P2 + LOCATION1 = GO –> LOCATION2
It’s fairly simple really. Of course, practicing is the key to improving your English. So, practice often. Then you’ll know where you’re going… and where you came from!
