going to VS coming to
During a job interview, I was asked to differentiate these two sentences:
1. I'm GOING TO France.
2. I'm COMING TO France.
I'm not sure if it was a trick question or there's really a difference between the two. Personally, I never use the preposition "to" when using the word come. Maybe someone can help me understand this more. Thanks!
