Venir Conjugation: Free Spanish Lesson and Quiz

If you’re a Spanish learner, you’ve come to the right place for a lesson on venir conjugation! 

The Spanish verb venir means “to come.” Venir is an irregular, stem-changing -ir verb, similar to seguir.  

Read this lesson to discover the ins and outs of venir conjugation in the following moods and tenses:

  • Indicative mood (present, past, past imperfect, conditional, and future tense)
  • Subjunctive mood (present, present perfect, past, and past perfect tense)
  • Imperative mood (positive and negative commands)

¡Conjuguemos!
Let’s conjugate!

The Ultimate Guide to Venir Conjugation

Because this is a comprehensive guide to venir conjugation, you may not be familiar with all the tenses and forms shown. Fear not! Practice makes perfect, so keep at it, and soon you’ll be an expert at using Spanish verbs.

Test out your newfound venir conjugation skills with a multiple-choice quiz at the end of the post!

Hand-picked for you: Venir versus Llegar

Venir Conjugation – Verbals

For these Venir conjugations, there are two forms of the verb venir that you need to learn.

1. Conjugation of haber + past participle of venir

2. Conjugation of estar + gerund form of venir

Check out how to form past participles in Spanish and our ultimate guide to Spanish gerunds.  

  • The infinitive form of the verb is venir.
  • The past participle of venir is venido.
  • The gerund form of venir is viniendo.

These compound tenses involve using the helping verbs haber and estar. The conjugation changes in these tenses happen within the helping verbs, while the form of the verb venir stays the same. 

Let’s see them in action!

¿Quieres venir conmigo?
Do you want to come with me?

Vanessa estará viniendo mañana.
Vanessa will be coming tomorrow.

Yo he venido a clase temprano hoy. 
I have come to class early today.

Venir Conjugation – Indicative Mood

Now, let’s take a look at the venir conjugation in the indicative mood for present simple, past simple, past imperfect, conditional, and future simple. 

Note that some example sentences do not have a pronoun. In these cases, the verb conjugation implies the subject.

1. Present Simple

The present tense of venir is the most common one. Notice the inclusion of the pronoun usted in the venir conjugation chart below. People in Spanish-speaking countries use it to replace the pronoun “you” as a sign of respect.

Yo vengo
Tú vienes
Él, ella, usted viene
Nosotros venimos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes vienen

Example Sentences in Spanish

¡Vengo enseguida!
I’ll be right back!

Marco viene de compras con nosotras. 
Marco is coming shopping with us.

¿Cuándo vienen a visitarnos? 
When are they coming to visit us?

2. Past Simple

You will come across verbs in the pretérito (preterite) often. This is the simple past tense conjugation in Spanish. 

Yovine
Tú viniste
Él, ella, usted vino
Nosotros vinimos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes vinieron

Example Sentences in Spanish

Vine porque necesitaba el dinero. 
I came because I needed the money.

¿Para qué viniste?
What did you come for?

Nosotros vinimos a Guatemala la semana pasada. 
We came to Guatemala last week.

3. Past Imperfect

The venir imperfect conjugation is ideal for describing something that used to happen continuously and repeatedly. It may refer to events that happened either sporadically or regularly.

Yo venía
Túvenías
Él, ella, usted venía
Nosotros veníamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes venían

Example Sentences in Spanish

Yo usualmente venía a este parque. 
I used to come to this park often.

Venía cada día a nadar en la piscina. 
I used to come to swim in the pool every day.

¿Leiste las instrucciones que venían con la licuadora? 
Did you read the instructions that came with the blender?

4. Conditional

In the venir conditional form, the stem changes to vendr- and it translates to “would come.”

Yovendría
Tú vendrías
Él, ella, usted vendría
Nosotrosvendríamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes vendrían

Example Sentences in Spanish

Nosotros vendríamos aquí más si pudiéramos.
We would come here more if we could.

Yo vendría más seguido si tuviera más tiempo libre.
I would come here more often if I had more time to spare.

Ellos vendrían a casa si no tuvieran tanto trabajo.
They would come home if they didn’t have so much work.

venir conjugation

5. Future Simple

Here, the stem of the venir conjugation again changes to vendr-. In the future tense, it translates to “will come.” 

Yo vendré
Tú vendrás
Él, ella, usted vendrá
Nosotrosvendremos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes vendrán

Example Sentences in Spanish

Vendré sin falta a escucharles.
I will certainly come and listen.

¿A qué hora vendrás a la escuela mañana? 
What time are you going to come to school tomorrow?

El Sr. García y su hija vendrán a comer con nosotros pasado mañana. 
Mr. Garcia and his daughter will come for lunch with us the day after tomorrow.

Venir Conjugation – Subjunctive Mood

We use the subjunctive conjugation to talk about hypotheses, hopes, wishes, or uncertainty. This is a more advanced mode of the Spanish verb venir. 

The forms of this mood are the present, past, past perfect, and future subjunctive. The future subjunctive tense exists but is rarely used, so I’m not including it in this lesson. 

1. Present Subjunctive

The present Spanish subjunctive expresses ideas, thoughts, desires, possibilities, and doubts. 

Yo venga
Tú vengas
Él, ella, usted venga
Nosotros vengamos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes vengan

Example Sentences in Spanish

Es posible que vengan. 
It’s possible that they will come over.

Paramos porque puede ser que venga otro carro. 
We stopped because there may be a car coming.

Nosotros comeremos en cuanto venga mi papá. 
We will eat when my dad comes.

2. Past Subjunctive

Here is the Spanish past subjunctive. In this venir conjugation chart, you have two endings, -iera and -iese. While both are correct, the latter is more antiquated and formal. 

Yo viniera o viniese
Tú vinieras o vinieses
Él, ella, usted viniera o viniese
Nosotros viniéramos o viniésemos
Ellos, ellas, ustedes vinieran o viniesen

Example Sentences in Spanish

Yo no creía que Andrea viniera. 
I didn’t think Andrea would come.

¡Ojalá Pablo viniera en diciembre! 
I wish Pablo would come in December!

Mi tía me dijo que viniera para la cena. 
My aunt told me to come for dinner.

3. Past Perfect Subjunctive

The past perfect subjunctive is an advanced verb form also known as el pluscuamperfecto del subjuntivo (the pluperfect subjunctive). We use it to explain past hypothetical situations that precede hypothetical outcomes. 

Notice how in this venir conjugation chart you have two choices, hubiera and hubiese. You can use them in any context, but keep in mind that the latter is more formal. 

For the past perfect subjunctive tense, we use the auxiliary verb haber and the past participle of venir.

Yohubiera o hubiese + venido
Tú hubieras o hubieses + venido
Él, ella, usted hubiera o hubiese + venido
Nosotros hubiéramos o hubiésemos + venido
Ellos, ellas, ustedeshubieran o hubiesen + venido

Example Sentences in Spanish

La maestra dijo que ella esperaba que yo hubiera venido a la clase temprano. 
The teacher said that she was hoping that I had come to class early.

Si hubieras venido a la boda, te lo hubieras pasado bien. 
If you had come to the wedding, you would have had a good time.

4. Present Perfect Subjunctive

The present perfect subjunctive or pretérito perfecto del subjuntivo expresses connections between past actions and the present. 

Yohaya + venido
Tú haya + venido
Él, ella, usted haya + venido
Nosotroshaya + venido
Ellos, ellas, ustedes haya + venido


For the perfect subjunctive tense we use the auxiliary verb haber and the past participle of venir.

Example Sentences in Spanish

¿No te alegras de que él haya venido a la reunión? 
Aren’t you glad that he came to the meeting?

Están felices de que Simón haya venido a cenar. 
They like that Simon has come for dinner.

Me sorprendo de que hayas venido. 
I am surprised that you have come.

Venir Conjugation – Imperative Mood

We use the imperative mood to give commands. The imperative mood emphasizes the verb, as the sentence normally starts with it unless it is a negative form.

AffirmativeNegative
¡Venga!¡No venga!
¡Vengas!¡No vengas!
¡Vengamos!¡No vengamos!
¡Vengan!¡No vengan!

Example Sentences in Spanish

Pues, venga, ¡ánimo!
Well, come on, let’s do it!

¡No vengamos!
Let’s not come!
