In literature, "came" functions as a versatile past-tense verb that not only marks physical movement or arrival but also signals the onset of events or shifts in mood. Authors use it to indicate a character's entrance into a scene, as seen when a half-dressed man emerges from hidden quarters in [1] or when characters simply “came into the house” as in [2] and [3]. It also effectively heralds significant narrative developments—such as the beginning of trials [4], the turning of time [5], or the arrival of a storm [6]—and even conveys internal experiences, like the overwhelming sadness that “came over his spirit” [7]. Moreover, its usage ranges from the straightforward and literal, indicating arrival or departure ([8], [9]), to the rhythmic and almost ceremonial, as in the historic or mythic tones found in texts like [10] and [11]. This multiplicity of functions helps create both tangible settings and abstract emotional shifts, demonstrating the word’s enduring utility in storytelling.
