Lesson 1

You come: viene

Use viene to say that one person comes or is coming and to ask polite questions about arrival.

One new building block

viene
you come / you are coming when speaking politely to one person
no viene
you do not come / you are not coming
¿Cuándo viene?
When are you coming?

Spanish often leaves out usted. In this module, viene by itself can mean polite you come.

Build the meaning step by step

Viene aquí. = You come here.
No viene mañana. = You are not coming tomorrow.
¿Viene conmigo? = Are you coming with me?

Use venir after familiar helper forms

After puede, quiere, or tiene que, use the unchanged form venir.

Puede venir ahora. = You can come now.

Viene describes the person's movement toward here or toward the speaker. Use venir after another verb: quiere venir, puede venir.

Lesson 2

You go: va

Use va to say where one person goes or is going and to ask polite questions about a destination.

One new building block

va
you go / you are going when speaking politely to one person
no va
you do not go / you are not going
¿Adónde va?
Where are you going?

Add the destination with a

Va a México. = You go to Mexico.
Va al hotel. = You go to the hotel.
¿Cuándo va al restaurante? = When do you go to the restaurant?

a + el joins to become al.

Use ir after familiar helper forms

After puede, quiere, or tiene que, use ir.

Tiene que ir al hotel. = You have to go to the hotel.

Va is the polite “you go” form. Use ir after another verb: quiere ir, puede ir, tiene que ir.
