Is Venire Essere or Avere

Venire is an intransitive verb – therefore it lacks a direct object, and its compound tenses are conjugated with the auxiliary essere.

Does venire take essere or avere?

In the next example the first verb venire (to come) is intransitive, has no direct object, and thus takes the auxiliary verb essere. The second verb portare (to bring, to carry) is transitive, having a direct object, and thus takes avere.

What is the difference between essere and avere?

The two words are used commonly in their present tense form to mean “to be” (essere) and “to have” (avere). This allows speakers to express their states of being as well as to talk about things they have in their possession.
