i couldn't come vs i couldnt came

The phrase to use is 'I couldn't come.' 'Couldn't' is the contraction of 'could not,' and 'come' is the correct past participle form of the verb 'come.' 'I couldnt came' is incorrect as 'couldnt' isn't a word in English, and 'came' is the wrong form of the verb for this context.
