To Come and to Go

Venire-to come
vengo vehn-goh veniamo ven-ee-ah-moh
vieni vee-en-ee venite ven-ee-teh
viene vee-en-eh vengono ven-goh-noh

Vengo a scuola in macchina.  I come to school by car. (It's a scuola instead of alla scuola because it's an idiom.)

To make a verb negative, add non before it:  Non vengo a scuola in macchina.  I don't come to school by car.

Andare-to go
vado vah-doh andiamo ahn-dee-ah-moh
vai vah-ee andate ahn-dah-teh
va vah vanno vahn-noh

Other verbs conjugated in the same pattern as venire are:
avvenire - to happen, to occur
convenire - to convene
divenire - to become
provenire - to come from, to proceed
