Veelgestelde Vragen
Why is 'viniendo' irregular? Why isn't it 'veniendo'?
The verb 'venir' is irregular because its stem (the base part) changes when it's conjugated. For the gerund, the 'e' in the stem of 'venir' changes to an 'i' instead of an 'ie' or staying the same, giving us 'viniendo.' This is simply a historical pattern that Spanish inherited from Latin.
Can I use 'viniendo' instead of 'cuando vine' (when I came)?
Sometimes. 'Viniendo' can replace the phrase 'while I was coming' or 'by coming,' often at the beginning of a sentence. For a simple point in the past, like 'When I came home,' you must use the conjugated verb: 'Cuando vine a casa.'
