By TutorLily Editorial Team · Last updated May 29, 2026

Venir in the French futur simple is: je viendrai, tu viendras, il/elle/on viendra, nous viendrons, vous viendrez, ils/elles viendront. The futur simple of venir uses the irregular contracted stem 'viendr-' (d-insertion family). 'Je viendrai demain' = 'I will come tomorrow'. Same stem powers the conditionnel ('je viendrais').

Tip

Working with the futur

The futur simple ("je parlerai") describes future actions, predictions, and conjecture about the present. In conversation it competes with the futur proche ("je vais parler" — going-to future), which is more common for near-term plans. Use the futur simple for distant or formal futures ("un jour, je voyagerai en Asie") and for conjecture ("il sera fatigué" = he must be tired). The futur stem is the full infinitive for regular verbs (parler-, finir-, vendr-), with a small set of irregular stems for high-frequency verbs: être → ser-, avoir → aur-, aller → ir-, faire → fer-, savoir → saur-, pouvoir → pourr-, vouloir → voudr-, venir → viendr-, devoir → devr-, voir → verr-.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate venir in the futur?

The futur of venir uses 'viendr-': je viendrai, tu viendras, il/elle/on viendra, nous viendrons, vous viendrez, ils/elles viendront. The 'i' of the infinitive drops and a 'd' inserts to ease pronunciation.

Why is the futur stem 'viendr-' instead of 'venir-'?

Venir belongs to the 'd-insertion' future-stem family: venir → viendr-, tenir → tiendr-. Both verbs share the same Latin-derived contraction pattern. The 'd' inserts to avoid the awkward 'n-r' transition that 'veniré' would have required.

When do I use 'je viendrai' instead of 'je vais venir'?

Both express future coming. 'Je viendrai' (futur simple) feels slightly more formal or committed. 'Je vais venir' (futur proche) is more conversational for near-term plans.
