Come

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing/immediate action), middle voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe present middle imperative, second person singular, commands the subject to initiate movement toward or into a new position or state. The middle voice reflects personal involvement in the action, naturally conveyed in English by the simple imperative "Come."
