Ask whether someone is coming to a meeting and say where you are coming from.

The idea

Venir means to come. The present includes irregular vengo, stem-changing vienes, viene and vienen, and venimos without that stem change. Use de for origin and a for destination.

Examples

  • Vengo de la biblioteca.I am coming from the library.
  • ¿Vienes a la reunión?Are you coming to the meeting?
  • Ella viene en tren.She is coming by train.
  • Venimos de otra ciudad.We come from another city.
  • Ustedes vienen mañana.You are coming tomorrow.
  • Mis amigos vienen a mi casa.My friends are coming to my house.

Watch out

The movement is described toward a point of reference; venir and ir are not interchangeable in every situation. The first-person form is vengo, not veno.
