So we got a tricky situation here. Should I use going or coming in this context?
I was in the college
and I said to my friend:
“I don't feel like coming to college these days”
He said I should have said 'going' instead of 'coming'
He's wrong I guess
I'd have used 'going' if I was anywhere but college.
Then again, I'm confused
because he said, “it's a repeated action, you don't feel like going to college from home”.
I don't know he may be technically right.
