Sam
Welcome back to BBC Learning English! I’m Sam and today we’re looking at the difference between come back and go back.
They both mean to return, but we use them differently.
We use come back when we return here. So, for example: I am in the BBC building now. Tonight I will go home, and tomorrow I will come back here - like a full circle.
We use go back to mean that we return there. For example: I am at work now, and tonight I will go back home. I am not at home now, but tonight I will go back – half the circle
So, please come back to BBC Learning English for more videos!

- Get out of my house and don't comeback!

Go back
When you go back, you return there - to the place you were before.
- I've had a lovely time, but I should go back home now.
- There are only three more days before our holiday ends and we have to go back.
- Stop stealing or you'll go back to prison.
