1. The monster is coming for you.
2. The monster is coming toward you.
==========
Does #1 mean #2?
not necessarily.
#2 is just motion
#1 also implies intent -- to eat you.
Or to take you away! (#1)
Yes, both sentences convey a similar idea, but there is a slight difference in meaning between them.
1. "The monster is coming for you." implies that the monster is specifically targeting you or has the intention to harm or pursue you. It indicates a sense of direct threat or danger.
2. "The monster is coming toward you." suggests that the monster is moving in your direction, without necessarily indicating any intent or purpose. It implies that the monster is approaching where you are, but it may not necessarily mean that it is targeting you specifically.
In summary, while both sentences convey the idea of the monster approaching you, the first sentence (#1) highlights a more direct and purposeful intention, while the second sentence (#2) simply indicates its general movement towards your location.
