Come to or go to

"Come to" and "go to" are two different phrases that express the idea of moving towards a particular place. The difference between them lies in the perspective of the person speaking.


"Come to" is used when the speaker invites or encourages someone to move physically or metaphorically to a particular place. For example: "Come to my office. I have something to show you." or "Come to a decision; we need to move forward."


"Go to" is used when the speaker is referring to the act of someone moving towards a particular place, usually for a specific purpose. For example: "I'm going to the grocery store to buy some food." or "She's going to the library to study."


In short, "come to" is more often used in invitations or encouragements, while "go to" is more often used to describe someone's plans or actions.
