Come & Go / Komen - Gaan

Come & Go: Partial inversion

The correct use of the verbs 'come' and 'go' causes problems for speakers of Portuguese. Although the translation of the verbs 'come' and 'go' seems simple and straight forward, when translating from or to Portuguese there is a problem. Depending on the context, the normal translation: 'vir' to 'come' and 'ir' to 'go' is incorrect and needs to be inverted translating 'vir' to 'go' and 'ir' to 'come'.

How this works, resulting problems and how to avoid these, is explained in the handout Come & Go: Partial inversion.
