Usage notes
In its general sense, come specifically marks motion the deictic centre, (whether explicitly stated or not). Its counterpart, usually referring to motion away from or not involving the deictic centre, is. For example, the sentence "Come to the tree" implies contextually that the speaker is already at the tree — "Go to the tree" often implies that the speaker is elsewhere. Either the speaker or the listener can be the deictic centre — the sentences "I will go to you" and "I will come to you" are both valid, depending on the exact nuances of the context. When there is no clear speaker or listener, the deictic centre is usually the focus of the sentence or the topic of the piece of writing. "Millions of people came to America from Europe" would be used in an article about America, but "Millions of people went to America from Europe" would be used in an article about Europe.

When used with adverbs of location, come is usually paired with or. In interrogatives, come usually indicates a question about source — "Where are you coming from?" — while go indicates a question about destination — "Where are you going?" or "Where are you going to?"

A few old texts use as the past participle. Also, in some dialects, like rural Scots and rural Midlands dialects, the form is still occasionally in use, so phrases like the following can still be encountered there — Sa thoo bist comen heyr to nim min 'orse frae mee, then?  (so you have come here to steal my horse from me, then?).

Formerly the verb was used as the auxiliary instead of, for example, ''Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.''

The phrase "dream come true" is a set phrase; the verb "come" in the sense "become" is archaic outside of some set phrases like, , , , and.

The collocations and  mean, used as "Do you want to come with me?" and "Do you want to come along?" In the Midwestern American dialect, "come with" can occur without a following object, as in "Do you want to come with?" In this dialect, "with" can also be used in this way with some other verbs, such as "take with". Examples of this may be found in plays by Chicagoan, such as . This objectless use is not permissible in other dialects.

The meaning in the sense of to ejaculate or orgasm is often considered vulgar slang. Many style guides and editors recommend the spelling come for verb uses while strictly allowing the spelling for the noun. Both spellings are sometimes found in either the noun or verb sense, however. Others prefer to distinguish in formality, using come for any formal usage and cum only in slang, erotic or pornographic contexts.
