Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'vengas' look so different from the infinitive 'venir'?
'Venir' is highly irregular. The 'g' sound in 'vengas' is a historical leftover that appears in many forms of this verb (like 'vengo' and 'venga'). You just have to remember that this 'g' is part of its special conjugations.
When do I use 'vengas' versus 'vienes'?
Use 'vienes' (the regular present tense) for facts or questions: 'You are coming' or 'Are you coming?'. Use 'vengas' (the special form) when talking about wishes, commands, doubts, or emotions: 'I hope you come' or 'Don't come'.
