๐Come back /Go back / Get back ๐
๐ซงTypically you say "go back" when talking about a place that is NOT your current
location, and you say "come back" when you ARE located at the place/destination.
๐ซงAn example will make it clearer:
I am from the United States, and I am currently living in Brazil. If I plan to move back
to the U.S., then I would say "I'm going back to the U.S. next month." I say "going
back" because I am currently NOT in the U.S.
But my parents, who are in the U.S., would say "Our daughter is coming back to the
U.S. next month." They say "coming back" because they ARE currently in the U.S.
โYou go back to a place where you have traveled to before (but you don't live there).
~I've been to Germany before - and I'm going back to Germany for another visit next
year.
โYou get back to a place where you typically stay / live.
~My husband and I just took a
3-day trip to another state, and we got back to our city this afternoon..
๐ซงHere's another example - let's say I went to the store and bought some milk, but
forgot to buy eggs. This means I need to go to the store again. I'd say "I'm going back to the store - I'll get back (home) in about 15 minutes."
