来る as grammar point vs 来る as vocab point

hey guys!!
so my friend and i were doing some bunpro studying together and noticed how 来る has both a vocab point and a grammar point but for the same meaning (?) and even some of the same example sentences. is there something i’m missing here cause it seems like this is an unneeded overlap cause it’s learning the same thing twice.

please let me know if i’m mistaken and there is a difference though!

kanjinoobman, out.

It’s the same, there are a lot of grammar points that also show up as vocab :slight_smile:

To somewhat answer the question of why certain things appear both as grammar points and as vocabulary, here is a link to a reply I posted quite recently on a similar topic.

tysm asher!
it makes a lot of sense why it is taught like that especially if concurently with a textbook. i also get why 来る should have a grammar point by itself cause it’s highly irregular and there are special ways in which the meaning/nuance changes for example when changing to the ている form.

that said i have to agree with davconde, from the linked thread, in that learning the vocab before the grammar makes a lot more sense. that way you get to learn the word/meaning, and then in the later grammar point get to actually learn more about its conjugation/irregularities.

but as you mentioned you are working on a revized N5 version, which should make stuff like this a lot nicer! and the fact that my only criticism (yet :speak_no_evil:) of bunpro is such a small thing speaks to how good a job you guys are doing! がんばって!
