go back, come back, return
The same rule applies with go back and come back, […],
but you can use return for both come back and go back:
- You
must have come back / returned very late last night.
I didn't hear you come in.
- He
went back / returned to Mexico when he had finished
post-graduate training.
Note, however, that come with and not go with is
normally used when we are talking about joining a movement of the speaker or
hearer, even though the movement is away from their current place or
position:
- I'm
going to the hospital this afternoon to get the test results.
Could you come with me?
- We're
going to Egypt for a week at Christmas . Would you like to come
with us?
