Now, and habits. viens covers both "I come" and "I am comeing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. être conjugates and venu does not — suis venu(e).
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so venons gives you venais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; venir never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on viendr- — not the infinitive venir. The conditional reuses this stem.

What this table tells you about venir
The past participle is venu, and it takes être in the passé composé — so it agrees with the subject: elle est venue, ils sont venus.
The futur simple is built on viendr-, which is not the infinitive venir. This stem has to be learned, and it is the same one the conditional uses later.
In the present, je, tu and il/elle are one sound: viens, vient — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous, vous and ils/elles carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know venons you already know venais, venait and venaient. Futur proche keeps venir untouched.
Worth knowing about venir
Venir de + infinitive (e.g., 'Je viens de manger') forms the recent past meaning 'just did,' a construction so frequent in speech that distinguishing it from passé composé is essential for intermediate learners.
No form irregularities beyond those covered by the facts card.
