To “come” is present perfect. To come is an action / verb of the moment. “Came” represents the past tense. For example, “I came to the wedding for my sister.” That is past tense. The present tense of this would be, “I am coming to my sisters wedding” as a form of present perfect.

The word Come is used in the PRESENT and FUTURE Tense, it means that it is happening now or will happen in the future. While you use Came in the PAST Tense, it means that it happened in the past or a long time ago. Here are example sentences below: Present tense- I will come to visit you today or tomorrow. Past tense- I came to visit you yesterday.

Come and came are different forms of the same verb, which means "to move or travel towards a person or place". Come is the base form of the verb, which is used in the present tense, the imperative mood, and the infinitive. Came is the past tense form of the verb, which is used to talk about an action that happened in the past.
