Listening 3

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRiVfHqBIIvSgKmgnSY66g	Confusing English Verbs Go & Come	intermediate

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

Go and come are simple verbs. But they actually have very similar meanings. And for that reason, they are often used incorrectly by English learners. These two verbs both describe movement between the person speaking and someone else. Or something else. But the difference is in the direction of the movement.When you use come, the movement is from somewhere else to where the speaker is. And when I say somewhere else, that could be the other side of the world, or it could just be the other side of the room.Go is usually used when the movement happens in the opposite direction. From, where the speaker is to another place.
