A Key Past Tense Form
'Vino' is a specific past tense form of the verb 'venir' (to come). It tells you that a single person (he, she, or a formal you) completed the action of coming at a specific point in the past.
Irregular Spelling
Watch out for the spelling! In this past tense, the 'e' in 'venir' changes to an 'i'. This happens for every person: 'yo vine', 'tú viniste', 'él vino'.
Confusing 'vino' (came) with 'fue' (went)
Mistake: “Él fue a mi casa anoche.”
Correction: Él vino a mi casa anoche. Use 'vino' for movement *towards* the speaker or the place of conversation ('he came'). Use 'fue' (from the verb 'ir') for movement *away* from the speaker ('he went').
