How to Say "comes back" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “comes back” is “regresa” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

My boss never returns from lunch on time.
Si olvidas algo, ¡regresa a buscarlo!
If you forget something, return to look for it!
¿Cuándo regresa usted a la oficina?

Dual Personality of 'Regresa'
This single form is used in two ways: 1) To state a fact about someone ('Él regresa' - He returns), and 2) To give a casual command ('¡Regresa!' - Return!).
Indicative Present Tense
This form uses the same conjugation as the infinitive minus the 'r' for the 'he/she/it' and formal 'you' persons (Usted).
Mixing up the 'You' forms
Mistake: “Saying 'Tú regresa' (mixing tú pronoun with the él/ella/usted verb form).”
Correction: The form 'regresa' already is the 'tú' command, but if you state a fact about tú, you must add the 's': 'Tú regresas mañana.' (You return tomorrow.)
