Komen and gaan

Komen en gaan, to come and to go: it seems simple, but what word do we use when we are not in the same place and call each other? And what is the difference between “naar huis gaan” and “thuis komen”?

Komen

	present	past
ik	kom	kwam
jij, hij, zij, u	komt	kwam
wij, jullie, zij	komen	kwamen
ik ben gekomen

Gaan

	present	past
ik	ga	ging
jij, hij, zij, u	gaat	ging
wij, jullie, zij	gaan	gingen
ik ben gegaan

Which perspective do we use...

...if we are not in the same place?
We use the perspective of the person who is already at the place we are going to.

So that also applies to the destination of angry wasps ...
