How to Use the Future of Venir

Irregular Stem: Drop e, Insert d

Ven-ir drops its e and inserts a d, becoming vendr-. Then add regular future endings.

ven-ir → vendr- + é = vendré.

Irregular stem, regular endings.

Vendr- + endings. NOT *veniré.

Same Family as Tener, Poner, Salir

Venir shares the drop-e-insert-d pattern with tener (tendr-), poner (pondr-), salir (saldr-), valer (valdr-). Learn them as a group.

venir → vendr-. tener → tendr-. poner → pondr-.

Common irregular family.

Five verbs share this pattern.

Venir vs. Ir

Venir = come (toward the speaker or listener). Ir = go (away from speaker). Vendré a tu casa = I'll come to your house (from my perspective, I'm moving toward you). Iré a tu casa = I'll go to your house (from a neutral perspective).

Vendré contigo. Iré contigo.

I'll come with you. I'll go with you.

Venir = toward. Ir = away.

Same Stem as Conditional

The future stem (vendr-) is the same as the conditional stem. Future: vendré. Conditional: vendría.

Future: vendré. Conditional: vendría.

I'll come vs. I would come.

Vendr- stem covers both tenses.

Common Mistakes with Future of Venir

Incorrect: Veniré mañana. — I'll come tomorrow.

Correct: Vendré mañana. — I'll come tomorrow.

Venir has an IRREGULAR future stem: vendr- (drop e from ven-ir, insert d). Form is vendré, not the regular *veniré.

Incorrect: Vendre a la fiesta. — I'll come to the party.

Correct: Vendré a la fiesta. — I'll come to the party.

Future yo form carries an accent: vendré. Without the accent, the stress shifts and the word is misspelled.

Incorrect: Vendrán a tu casa. (meant: I'll go to your house) — I'll go to your house.

Correct: Iré a tu casa. — I'll go to your house.

Vendrán means they'll come. For first person going somewhere, use iré (I'll go). Even with venir/ir, the choice depends on perspective: venir = toward speaker, ir = away from speaker.
