Do you know how to conjugate the verb "venir"? If not, that's the verb that you should know. From this, there are many verbs that are formed. You will find out some later in the video. First we are going to see how to conjugate this verb in the present tense.
Look at this verb the way it is formed. With the singular part :
With "je" "tu" "il" "elle" venir has the same sound and shape. The lonely difference is with the couple "je / tu", you add s and with the couple "il / elle", the ending is t.
If you look at the plural part :
ils and elles ; venir has almost the same shape but not the same sound Because the body of venr has double n and the ending is e.n.t.
For the other tense in indicative, the roots are the same for each personal pronoun.
If you notice the simple past and the future have the same roots.
That’s also the case for conditional present tense.
Venir has several uses.
Venir :
You can simply use this verb without preposition: Je viens manger à la maison.

From something Cette odeur vient de la cuisine. This smell comes from the kitchen.
Venir de : to express something, an event has just happened:
Elles viennent de finir leurs devoirs (they have just to finish their homeworks).
