It's also used in a common construction to say what you "have just done" – this is called the recent past. You use it with "de" + infinitive, like in "Je viens de manger" (I have just eaten).

Venir is a very common and useful irregular verb in French. It means to come. You'll use it to talk about movement towards a speaker or a place.
For example, you can say Je viens à la fête (I am coming to the party). It's also used in several idiomatic expressions, like venir de + infinitive to say what you have just done, as in Je viens de manger (I have just eaten).
Another common use is venir de + place to indicate origin, such as Il vient de Paris (He comes from Paris).
Pay close attention to its conjugation, especially in the present tense, as it doesn't follow regular patterns. Knowing how to use venir correctly will greatly improve your ability to express movement and recent actions in French.
Alright, let's tackle the verb "venir" (to come). This is a foundational French verb, and you'll use it constantly. Think of it like "to come" in English – it expresses movement towards a speaker or a specified location. You'll often see it paired with prepositions like "de" (from) to indicate origin, or "à" (to) to indicate a destination. Mastering its conjugation in the present tense is a big step for A1 learners, so focus on those forms. We'll also see later how it's used as an auxiliary verb for the "passé récent" (recent past), so it's a very versatile word.

§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The French verb "venir" is a really common and useful word that means "to come." It's one of those essential verbs you'll hear and use all the time, right from the start of your French learning journey. Think of it like its English equivalent – you use "to come" in a lot of different situations, and "venir" is no different.
At its most basic, "venir" means movement towards a speaker or a specific place. If you're inviting someone over, or describing someone's arrival, "venir" is your go-to verb. It's a key part of telling stories, making plans, and just generally talking about people and things moving around.
Here are some common scenarios where you'd use "venir":
- Talking about someone arriving: Whether it's a friend coming to your house or a train arriving at the station, "venir" fits.
- Saying where someone is from: This is a very frequent use. "Je viens de France" (I come from France) is a classic example.
- Expressing when something will happen: "L'été vient" (Summer is coming) – you'll often see it used for seasons or events.
- Making future plans: You can use it in expressions like "venir me voir" (to come see me).
- Forming the recent past (passé récent): This is a super handy grammatical structure where "venir de" + infinitive means "to have just done something." We'll get into that a bit more later.
Let's look at some examples to really cement this in your mind.
Elle vient chez moi ce soir.
This means: She comes (is coming) to my place tonight. It's about arrival.
Nous venons de Paris.
This means: We come (are) from Paris. It talks about origin.
Tu veux venir avec moi?
This means: Do you want to come with me? It's about an invitation to join.
One of the most important things to grasp about "venir" is its role in the "passé récent" (recent past). This structure is incredibly useful for saying that something just happened. It's formed with a conjugated form of "venir" + "de" + an infinitive verb.
Je viens de manger.
This literally means: I come from eating, but it's understood as: I have just eaten.
Ils viennent de partir.
This means: They have just left.
This structure is a shortcut to talk about recent events without needing to use the more complex past tenses for now. It's super practical for daily conversation.
- DEFINITION
- To come; to arrive; to be from; to happen (in some contexts); to have just done something (when followed by "de" + infinitive).
Remember, context is king. While "venir" generally means "to come," the surrounding words will help you figure out the exact nuance. Pay attention to prepositions like "de" (from) or phrases like "chez moi" (to my place). You'll pick this up quickly as you see more examples.
§ Using 'venir' instead of 'aller'
One of the most common mistakes English speakers make is confusing 'venir' (to come) with 'aller' (to go). In English, we often use 'to come' even when referring to movement away from the speaker, for example, "Are you coming to the party tonight?" In French, however, you need to be precise about the direction of movement relative to the speaker.
- The difference
- 'Venir' means to come *to* the speaker's location. 'Aller' means to go *away from* the speaker's location, or to go to a different location altogether.
Je viens chez toi. (I 'm coming to your place.) - Speaker is going to the listener's location.
Je vais au supermarché. (I'm going to the supermarket.) - Speaker is going away from their current location.
Tu vas à la fête ce soir? (Are you going to the party tonight?) - The party is not at the speaker's location.
If the party was at the speaker's place, then you would use 'venir':
Tu viens à la maison ce soir? (Are you coming to my place tonight?)
§ Using 'venir de' incorrectly
The construction 'venir de + infinitive' means "to have just done something." It's a very common way to express recent past actions. The mistake often comes from direct translation, where learners try to translate "I just came from doing something" directly.
- Correct usage
- To express an action that just happened, use 'venir' conjugated, followed by 'de', followed by the infinitive form of the verb.
Je viens de manger. (I just ate.)
Elle vient d'arriver. (She just arrived.)
Do NOT try to say something like "Je suis juste venu de manger." That doesn't make sense in French for this meaning.
§ Incorrect prepositions after 'venir'
When 'venir' means "to come from," the preposition you use depends on the geographical location.
For cities, use 'de' or 'd''.
Je viens de Paris. (I come from Paris.)
Il vient d'Ottawa. (He comes from Ottawa.)
For masculine countries, use 'du' (de + le).
Nous venons du Canada. (We come from Canada.)
For feminine countries, use 'de' or 'd''.
Elle vient de France. (She comes from France.)
For plural countries/regions, use 'des' (de + les).
Ils viennent des États-Unis. (They come from the United States.)
Using the wrong preposition will sound awkward to a native speaker.
How Formal Is It?
"Veuillez venir à la réunion à dix heures. (Please come to the meeting at ten o'clock.)"
"Tu peux venir avec nous si tu veux. (You can come with us if you want.)"
"Viens voir ça! (Come see this!)"
"Maman, tu viens jouer avec moi? (Mommy, are you coming to play with me?)"
"Il a débarqué sans prévenir. (He showed up without warning.)"
豆知識
Many English words come from 'venir', like 'convene', 'intervene', and 'souvenir'.
発音ガイド

neutral間違えやすい
Both 'venir' and 'arriver' can be translated as 'to come' or 'to arrive' in English, leading to confusion about when to use each.
Use 'venir' when the movement is towards the speaker or a specified reference point. Use 'arriver' to indicate the act of reaching a destination, often without emphasis on the direction of movement relative to the speaker.
Je viens chez toi. (I'm coming to your place.) Nous arrivons à la gare. (We are arriving at the station.)
'Venir' means 'to come' and 'aller' means 'to go'. The confusion arises when English speakers use 'come' for both directions of movement.
'Venir' implies movement towards the speaker or a location associated with the speaker. 'Aller' implies movement away from the speaker or to a location not associated with the speaker.
Je viens te voir. (I'm coming to see you.) Je vais au magasin. (I'm going to the store.)
'Revenir' means 'to come back' or 'to return', which can sometimes be mistaken for 'venir' if the 'back' aspect is overlooked.
'Venir' is simply 'to come'. 'Revenir' specifically means 'to come again' or 'to return to a place'.
Tu viens à la fête? (Are you coming to the party?) Il revient de vacances. (He's coming back from vacation.)
The 'venir' root is present, and 'parvenir' can mean 'to reach' or 'to succeed in reaching', which sounds similar to 'to come'.
'Venir' is general movement towards. 'Parvenir' implies successfully reaching a goal, an outcome, or a specific place, often after some effort.
Le message est parvenu à son destinataire. (The message reached its recipient.)
Again, the 'venir' root suggests 'coming', but 'survenir' means 'to happen unexpectedly' or 'to occur suddenly'.
'Venir' is a planned or general coming. 'Survenir' refers to something appearing or happening unexpectedly, often implying a sudden or unlooked-for event.
Un problème est survenu. (A problem came up / happened unexpectedly.)

Venir is a very common and versatile verb in French. It means 'to come'. You'll use it all the time!
It can be used in several key ways:
- To say where someone is coming from:

- Elle vient de l'école. (She comes from school.)
- To say someone is coming to a place:
- Tu viens à ma fête ? (Are you coming to my party?)

- To form the recent past (passé récent): This is a super useful structure! It means 'to have just done something'.

Remember that venir is often followed by 'de' when indicating origin or in the passé récent construction.
Here are a couple of common mistakes English speakers make with venir:
- Confusing it with 'aller' (to go): While 'to come' and 'to go' are related, make sure you use 'venir' when the movement is towards the speaker or a reference point, and 'aller' when it's away.
- Incorrect: Je vais chez toi. (If you mean 'I'm coming to your place' when speaking to the person whose place it is.)
- Correct: Je viens chez toi. (I am coming to your place.)
- Incorrect preposition after 'venir': Sometimes learners use 'à' instead of 'de' when talking about origin or the recent past.
- Incorrect: Je viens à Paris. (Unless you mean 'I come to Paris' habitually)
- Correct: Je viens de Paris. (I come from Paris.)
- Incorrect: Nous venons à manger.
- Correct: Nous venons de manger. (We just ate.)

Basic Meaning of Venir
At its core, 'venir' means 'to come'. Think of it as movement towards the speaker or a specific point.
Venir in the Present Tense
Master these conjugations: je viens (I come), tu viens (you come), il/elle/on vient (he/she/one comes), nous venons (we come), vous venez (you all come), ils/elles viennent (they come).
Venir from a Place
To say you 'come from' a place, use 'venir de'. For example, 'Je viens de Paris' (I come from Paris).
Talking about Origin
Use 'venir de' to discuss where something or someone originates. 'Il vient d'une famille nombreuse' (He comes from a large family).
Recent Past: Venir de + Infinitive

Venir for Invitations
When inviting someone, you might use 'venir'. 'Voulez-vous venir avec moi ?' (Do you want to come with me?).

Sample answer
La notion du 'temps qui vient' est une pierre angulaire de la réflexion philosophique, interrogeant notre rapport à l'inconnu et notre capacité à façonner ou à subir notre destinée. L'humanité, dans sa quête perpétuelle de sens, anticipe inlassablement l'avenir, tentant d'en déchiffrer les arcanes. Les sociétés élaborent des systèmes complexes, des lois aux innovations technologiques, afin de se préparer aux éventualités à venir, de mitiger les risques et d'optimiser les opportunités. Pourtant, malgré cette prévoyance, la contingence demeure une force irrésistible. Le libre arbitre de l'individu, confronté aux forces macroscopiques, se heurte souvent aux limites de son influence. Ainsi, le temps qui vient est à la fois une toile blanche pour nos aspirations et un rappel de notre humilité face à l'inéluctable.

Sample answer
Dans l'œuvre de Marcel Proust, la notion de 'ce qui va venir' est souvent subtilement tissée dans le tissu narratif, non pas comme un coup de théâtre imminent, mais comme une attente sensorielle et psychologique. Plutôt que de recourir à des annonces explicites, Proust utilise des sensations fugaces – une odeur persistante, une réminiscence involontaire – pour suggérer les événements et les révélations qui viendront émailler le parcours du narrateur. Par exemple, la description minutieuse d'une soirée mondaine, empreinte d'une certaine mélancolie sous-jacente, peut déjà préfigurer les désillusions et les trahisons qui viendront entacher les relations du personnage principal, créant une tension narrative qui se déploie sur des centaines de pages, culminant dans la reconnaissance amère de la fuite du temps.
