Today, let's talk about the difference between go back and come back. Both of these have the same meaning, which is to return. The difference is, where are you returning to? Now, when you use go back, you can think of it as there, and when you use come back, you can think of it as here. And you need to ask yourself, am I returning to the same spot? If your answer is yes, then you use come back. If your answer is no, then you use go back. Now, the thing you need to remember is that it's the person who's asking the question. It depends from their perspective. Where are they now? And are you coming or going to the same spot or a different spot? So keep that in mind as well in question form. It depends on where the person is. So let's look at an example. Let's say that Bob and Sally are married. Now, Sally's at home. Bob is at work. So Sally's at home. That's the reference point. Now, Sally calls Bob at work and she says, when are you coming back? When are you coming back? Now, you have to remember that Sally's the one who's asking the question. So Sally is at home. At one point, Bob was at home. Now, he's at work. So Sally's asking when he's going to return to the same spot, which is home where she is now. So you have to remember that it's the perspective of the person asking the question. Sally's at home. She asked Bob, when are you coming back? When are you coming back home or when are you coming home? All three of those would be interchangeable. Now, let's imagine Sally's at home and Bob's at work. Now, Bob goes home for lunch. So he's only there for lunch. Remember, his starting position in this example was work, but he goes home for lunch. Now, Sally could say to Bob, when are you going back? When are you going back to work? And Bob could say, oh, in 20 minutes, because Bob is going to leave the place where Sally is now. When are you going back? Now, Bob's at home on his lunch break. His boss is at work. His boss calls Bob and says, Bob, when are you coming back? Because remember, the boss's perspective is, he's at work. Bob was at work. Bob is not at work. But the boss wants to know, when is Bob going to return to the same spot, which is work? So he leaves work and he comes back. So Bob's at home, his boss calls them and says, Bob, when are you coming back? When are you coming back to work? So notice that in this case, it was always the person who was asking Bob the question and their position, whether or not they use going or coming. So it might seem a little complicated, but just keep it simple. You just need to ask yourself the question, where am I now? If I'm returning to the same spot that I am now, then you use come. If you're returning to a different spot than you are now, you use go. So the best way to get comfortable with these is, of course, to practice them.
