Grammar

Come Vs Go

The common verbs come and go are often confusing.
One reason this happens is that come and go have the
same basic meaning, but are used for different directions.

Come is used to show movement toward or in the direction of the speaker or the person being spoken to:

• My cousin is coming to see me next week.
• Are you coming to my party?
• May I come to your party, too?
• That man’s coming toward us. Who is he?
• Dr. Jones is in a meeting at 11:00. Can you come for your appointment at 11:30?

Go is used to show movement away from the speaker or the person being spoken to:

• I’m going to see my cousin next week.
• Are you going to Bill’s party?
• That man’s going toward your car. Who is he?
• I need to go to the bank this afternoon.
• Ginny wants to go to Bora Bora on her vacation.

Q: What did you do this past weekend?

Original:

On the weekend I’m always busy. In the morning I must get up early, at seven o’clock AM. Then I have to commute to the dental clinic. I hate by subway, because it’s crowded in the morning. There are a lot of patients on the weekend. I must help my doctor to treat a lot of patients. I’m doing something until thirteen o’clock and then I ate lunch. I want to have a rest, but I can’t. I finished my work at 6PM, but I always work overtime. When I finish my work, sometimes I must go to SE to study English. I’m so tired!

Edited:

I’m always busy on the weekend. This past weekend I had to get up early, at seven o’clock in the morning. Then, I had to commute to the dental clinic by subway. I hate taking the subway in the morning, because it’s very crowded.

There are a lot of patients at the dental clinic on the weekend, so I had to help the dentist treat a lot of people. I was busy until 1PM, and then I ate lunch. I wanted to rest after that, but I couldn’t. I ‘m supposed to finish my work at 6PM, but I always work overtime. This weekend I worked until 7 on Saturday, but yesterday I finished on time. Sometimes I finish work and then I must come to SE to study English. I’m so tired!
