COME, GO
Although come and venir usually imply motion towards the speaker while go and ir imply motion away from them, there are some differences between the two languages. In English we sometimes describe movement as if from the other person's perspective. In Spanish, this is not the case.• For example when someone calls you:
I'm coming Ya voy• Making arrangements over the phone or in a letter:
I'll come and pick you up at four Iré a recogerte a las cuatro Can I come too? ¿Puedo ir yo también? Shall I come with you? ¿Voy contigo?• So, use ir rather than venir when going towards someone else or when joining them to go on somewhere else.
Are you coming with us? (viewed from the speaker's perspective) ¿(Te) vienes con nosotros?• Compare:
