I've always been confused with the use of "come" and "came". When I go to any place where I need to talk with a receptionist/cashier, let's say, a store, a school or a clinic, what should I say when I arrive to...?
The store I come/came to pick up my online order. I come/came to return this product.
The school I come/came to enroll to the English class. I come to see what open courses you have.
The clinic I come/came to see a doctor.
I have read different grammar articles about this but each one say something different. That's why I'm so confused.
Thank you.
