Learner notes
Memory Tip
记住come是“来”，coming就是“来”的名词化：想象重要客人come的画面，ing结尾让动作变成名词“到来、来临”。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：literary narrative、formal announcement、informal speech 作名词表示“到来/抵达”时，语域会随搭配和使用场景变化：正式或文学性叙述中比较常见，日常口语中则多出现在固定表达里。建议根据上下文和搭配判断正式程度，不必一概而论。
Grammar Note
常与of连用，表示某事的到来，如the coming of spring。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵的词有 summing、drumming、humming、becoming，均含 /ʌmɪŋ/。注意 combing /ˈkoʊmɪŋ/ 和 common /ˈkɑmən/ 拼写近似但读音不同，不要与 coming 混淆。
