A Form of 'Venir'
viene is a changed form of the verb venir (to come). You use it when talking about 'he', 'she', 'it', or a formal 'you' (usted) doing the action right now or regularly.
Coming vs. Going
Mistake: “Using 'viene' for movement away from you. For example: *'Él viene al supermercado'* when you are at home and he is going to the store.”
Correction: Use `va` for 'goes'. Say: *'Él va al supermercado'*. Think of `viene` as 'comes here' and `va` as 'goes there'.
