Please tell him to go to me / tell him to come to me.

The correct answer is come to me. Based on the semantic nature of the two verbs, I don't think they can be interchangeably used. Come means toward the speaker (where the speaker is) and go means away from the speaker. So you can say 'come to the party' or 'go to the party' but they connote different things. In the former the speaker is at the place where party is, but in the latter, they are not.

Unfortunately, that is not necessarily true. For instance, for courtesy's sake, we often cast our speech into the listener's aspect or into another time. 'Come to the

It doesn't negate what I said, sir. In 'come to the party (with us)' the speaker is still inviting the listener to join (to go toward them) them to go to the party. Even if the speaker doesn't mean to ask the listener to join them, they, as you said imagine themselves at the future party and based on this premise they use the verb 'come,' to mean we'll be there, you join us, too.

Then let us try this one:

A: Will I see you tomorrow?
B: Yes, I'll come to your place at 7 PM.

When we talk about another person (someone who is neither the speaker nor the listener), we can use either come or go, depending on whether the speaker sees things from the receiver’s viewpoint (come) or the doer’s viewpoint (go).

Thank you all and if you do not mind, could you show me an example to understand this explanation with?

Hans51could you show me an example to understand this explanation with?

I just did in my example immediately above—it needn't be a third person.

you got me on this one. I really don't know. maybe it's a shift to see the things from the view point of the listener, but this is merely a far-fetched speculation.

vahabbayanibut this is merely a far-fetched speculation.

A far-fetched speculation to seee things from the listener's point of view? Not at all. It's natural and quite common:

.A: Are you going back to Turkey soon?
B: Yes, I'm flying to Ankara tomorrow.
A: Oh, so you'll be there over Christmas. I may well come over to

Thanks a lot. So if seeing things from the view point of the listener is natural then what I said about the two verbs earlier is correct.

Not if tou are referring to "Come means toward the speaker (where the speaker is) and go means away from the speaker."
