Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'venir' change its stem to 'vendr-' in the future tense?

This is a common pattern for many frequent Spanish verbs! The stem change (venir → vendr-) makes the word easier and quicker to say, a bit like how English speakers say 'won't' instead of 'will not.' It’s one of twelve major irregular future verbs you need to memorize.

Can I use 'van a venir' instead of 'vendrán'?

Yes, often. 'Van a venir' (They are going to come) uses the immediate future and is very common in spoken Spanish, especially for events happening soon. 'Vendrán' is slightly more formal or used for events further away.
