Let's have a look...

Verbe aller au présent
je vais	nous allons
tu vas	vous allez
il va	ils vont

Do you remember learning the verb aller, to go? What do je vais and elle va mean?

Show Me

je vais (I go)
elle va (she goes)

Every verb has different conjugations, or forms, for each subject. Venir, like aller, also changes with each subject. In this lesson, you will focus mainly on the forms of venir that go with I, you, he or she (je, tu, il, ou elle), there are six different conjugations (forms) that you will use eventually. They are shown in the chart below.

Je viens	I come, I am coming
Tu viens	You come, You are coming (singular)
Il vient	He comes, He is coming
Elle vient	She comes, She is coming
Nous venons	We come, We are coming
Vous venez	You come, You are coming (plural)
Ils viennent	They come/They are coming (male group or mixed group)
Elles viennent	They come/They are coming (female group)

Now, see if you can match the forms of venir with their English equivalents.
