Come audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Some of the most powerful words in English are the smallest. Come — four letters, one syllable — is among the most versatile and ancient verbs in the language. It carries within it an entire philosophy of movement, arrival, and approach.
Come is a verb, pronounced with the vowel sound in cup — KUM — rhyming with sum, drum, and numb. Its past tense is came; its past participle is come. It is an irregular verb, and one of the oldest in English.
The word descends from Old English cuman, which comes from Proto-Germanic kweman, related to similar words in German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages — all meaning to come, to arrive, to move toward. The Indo-European root is gwa, meaning to go or come. Come is so fundamental a concept that virtually every branch of the Indo-European language family has a word for it.
In its core meaning, come describes movement toward the speaker or toward a point of reference. Come here. Come inside. The post has come. The difference between come and go is one of direction relative to the speaker — come moves toward; go moves away. This distinction is sometimes called the deictic centre — the point of reference from which direction is calculated.
But come extends far beyond physical movement. It can describe the passage of time — winter has come. It can describe achievement — she has come a long way. It can describe origin — where do you come from? It can describe occurrence — it came as a surprise. And in the imperative, come! is one of the most direct and universally understood words in the language.
Come generates an extraordinary range of phrasal verbs — come across, come along, come around, come apart, come back, come clean, come forward, come out, come through, come to, come undone, come up. Each phrasal combination creates a distinct and irreplaceable meaning.
Come is also central to idiom: come to think of it, come rain or shine, come what may, come of age, first come first served. In religious language — come, Lord Jesus — it carries weight that stretches back thousands of years.
Four letters. One syllable. An entire world of motion and meaning.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: I have been thinking about how differently come and go work in British English versus American English. I keep noticing subtle differences.
Speaker B: They are genuinely interesting differences. The deictic centre — the speaker's perspective — works the same way in both, but there are practical differences in usage. For example, in British English it is perfectly natural to say I am coming to see you tomorrow, even when you are the one travelling to their location. In American English, I am coming is more strictly reserved for movement toward the listener.
Speaker A: Yes — I might say to a colleague I'll come to your office at three, meaning I will travel to where they are. That would sound odd to some American speakers, who would expect I'll go to your office.
Speaker B: It reflects the fact that come is perspective-oriented. If I imagine myself at your location as I speak, come is natural. It is a mental shift in deictic centre — and British English allows it more freely.
Speaker A: What about phrasal verbs with come? There are so many. Come across, come around, come clean, come out — they all feel completely distinct.
Speaker B: They are distinct and non-interchangeable, which is what makes phrasal verbs so difficult for learners. Come across means to encounter unexpectedly, or to make a certain impression — she came across as confident. Come around means to change one's opinion, or to regain consciousness, or to visit. Come clean means to confess. Come out means to become public — about news, about identity, about a product launch. Each is a separate lexical item.
Speaker A: I used come to in a meeting the other day — he eventually came to after we raised the issue several times. Meaning he finally became aware or conscious of the point.
Speaker B: That is a slightly informal use but perfectly understood. Come to in its core meaning is to regain consciousness — he came to after fainting. By extension it applies to awareness or realisation. It worked in context.
Speaker A: The phrasal verbs feel like a separate vocabulary in themselves. Each one has to be learned independently.
Speaker B: That is exactly right. Come on its own is simple. Come plus a particle creates an entirely new word, effectively. There is no shortcut — each combination must be learned in context.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Come is one of the most underappreciated verbs in prompt engineering. It appears in user flow descriptions, onboarding sequences, state transitions, and conversational UI copy. Knowing how to use it precisely makes a real difference.
Speaker A: I would not have thought of come as a technical word at all.
Speaker B: It becomes technical when you use it to describe user journey states and navigation flows. First — an onboarding flow UI:
Speaker B: PROMPT:
Speaker B: Come is doing real navigational work here — come to, come across, how far they have come. It maps the user journey with natural language that reads clearly in a spec.
Speaker A: How far through the onboarding they have come — that is a natural way to describe a progress bar.
Speaker B: Exactly. It reads like a human specification, which makes the AI output more product-like. Now a notification and state system:
Speaker B: PROMPT:
Speaker A: Come in from three sources — that is a clean way to describe multi-origin event ingestion. And come and gone as a state label is clear and natural.
Speaker B: Database schema next:
Speaker B: PROMPT:
Speaker A: Come through to a completed transaction — that is a real conversion funnel concept expressed in natural English. Very readable.
Speaker B: And one more — full application:
Speaker B: PROMPT:
Speaker A: Come in, come back, come to the end of their shift — natural language describing real state transitions. The AI can map those directly to events in the application logic.
Speaker B: Use come in prompts whenever you are describing user movement through a system, state transitions, or arrival events. It produces more readable, human-centred specifications than abstract technical language, and the AI responds to it with more natural, user-focused output.
