I could say "I'll come to you" but "I'll come back there" is wrong
I was thinking that "come" means come here from somewhere, unless there is a word "to" (come to). "Come to" means going to somewhere else. |

I'll come back there can be correct, (even in a phone conversations) if one person has been to the place where the other is, and is confirming that he will return to that same place.
You left your work here. Yes, I'll come back there and pick it up before I go on to college. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

| How to say "Is it ok?" but refers to the past event | A group of blondes blocked my way when I was cycling. |
