Tener, venir
I made some sentences and ran into some question, and I wanted to make sure the other ones are correct.
Is there any reason I would be required to say Soy, Eres, etc... on these? I see some examples in my book, but they seem more like promts for me. Tengo ganas de estudiar - I wish to study. Tienes que trabajar - You have to work. Tenemos niños - We have children. Tienen que limpiar los platos - They have to clean the dishes. Ella tiene que poner la mesa - She has to set the table. The next part has got me stumped. The examples I'm given are all are saying "this person came from France(or wherever)". So is there any examples I can use other than say... Venimos de Ireland - We come from Ireland. Just looking for different was to use the word. I was thinking: Vengo a leer - I come to read....... Like if someone asked me why I'm in the library or something. Again I'm looking for a way to use the word differently, so if my response to the question is bad, I don't want to change the response, I want to change the question or comment if at all possible.

So the other word I have is venir.......
Vengo a leer = I come to read Vienes a acosar = You come to pester Venimos a enseñar = We come to teach Vienen a molestar = They come to harass..... Ello viene a jugar = He comes to play(but he is coming to play with me, so not sure is this is right. And just like before, I need to keep "viene", so rest of the sentence will change before the word does) Question: Can I use "molestar" as a hyperbole when speaking of an annoying person? Rather than using "acosar"? |

I wouldn't use acosar at all. Use generic molestar instead, more specific but somewhat literary dar la lata, or choose one of many local verbs, vulgar or not. It comes to mind a dozen used in my city and I'm sure there are hundreds.

Él viene a jugar: is this what you mean?

The correction you made to your first sentence is correct.
Here is a more complete version: Él viene a jugar conmigo. Using the subject pronoun you provided in your second sentence, which agrees with the example you gave of who might be the subject, makes it correct. Here are more complete versions: Ellos vienen a molestarme. Mis hijos vienen a molestarme. |
