By TutorLily Editorial Team · Last updated

Venir in the Spanish future (futuro simple) is: yo vendré, tú vendrás, él/ella/usted vendrá, nosotros/as vendremos, vosotros/as vendréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes vendrán. The future of venir uses the irregular contracted stem 'vendr-' — the 'i' of the infinitive drops and a 'd' is inserted to ease pronunciation. Same pattern as tener (tendr-), poner (pondr-), salir (saldr-), valer (valdr-).

Tip

Working with the future

The simple future ("haré", "tendré") competes with the more conversational "voy a + infinitive" construction in everyday Spanish — the going-to form is more common for near-term plans. The simple future shines in two cases: formal or more distant predictions, and conjecture about the present ("¿qué hora será?" = "what time could it be?"). About 12 high-frequency verbs use contracted future stems (har-, dir-, tendr-, pondr-, vendr-, saldr-, podr-, querr-, sabr-, habr-, valdr-, cabr-); the rest just append future endings to the full infinitive.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate venir in the future?
The future of venir uses the irregular stem 'vendr-': yo vendré, tú vendrás, él/ella/usted vendrá, nosotros/as vendremos, vosotros/as vendréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes vendrán. The 'i' of the infinitive drops and a 'd' inserts to ease pronunciation — same pattern as tener (tendr-), poner (pondr-), salir (saldr-).
Why is the future stem 'vendr-' instead of 'venir-'?
About a dozen Spanish verbs developed contracted future stems for phonetic economy. The 'd-insertion' family (tener → tendr-, poner → pondr-, venir → vendr-, salir → saldr-, valer → valdr-) drops a vowel and inserts 'd' to keep the consonant cluster pronounceable. 'Veniré' would have required pronouncing 'n-i-r' awkwardly in fast speech; 'vendré' rolls off the tongue. The pattern emerged from everyday repetition over centuries.
When should I use 'vendré' instead of 'voy a venir'?
Both express future arrival. 'Vendré' (simple future) feels slightly more formal, more committed, or further in time. 'Voy a venir' (going-to future) is more conversational for near-term plans. The simple future also expresses conjecture: '¿Vendrá Juan?' = 'Will Juan come? / I wonder if Juan will come' — a meaning the going-to future cannot carry.
