venir

To move nearer to the point of perspective.

How to use

In formal and informal contexts, 'venir' is used to indicate movement towards a location or a point of perspective. For example, 'El presidente vendrá a la reunión' (The president will come to the meeting). A common learner mistake is to use 'venir' in the present tense to describe a habitual action, whereas 'venir' is typically used in the future tense to indicate an upcoming event. For instance, 'Vengo a la playa todos los veranos' (I come to the beach every summer) is incorrect; the correct sentence would be 'Vengo a la playa el próximo verano' (I will come to the beach next summer).
