Key Differences
The verbs "Come" and "Go" both deal with the concept of movement, but their usages define different directions. When you use "Come," you are referencing movement towards a particular point of reference, usually the speaker or the listener. For instance, if someone is at home and calls a friend, they might say, "Come over to my place." Here, "Come" indicates the action of moving towards the home.

On the other hand, "Go" is used to describe movement away from the point of reference. If the same person tells their child to visit a neighbor's house, they might say, "Go to Mrs. Smith's house." Here, the movement is away from the current location or the speaker. This departure could be temporary, such as going to the store, or more permanent, like going to live in another country.

In some scenarios, "Come" and "Go" might seem interchangeable, but their perspective remains consistent. If two friends are discussing attending a party, one might ask, "Will you come to the party?" while responding, the other could say, "Yes, I'll go." Even in this situation, "Come" speaks from the party's location, while "Go" speaks from the responder's current location.

Both "Come" and "Go" are fundamental verbs in the English language and understanding the directional differences between them aids in clearer communication. Their applications extend beyond literal physical movement and can denote conceptual ideas, like coming to a realization or going through a difficult time.
