The conjugation of the [present tense](#/lesson/Verbs.Re07) of _komen_ (to come) is perfectly regular, it is just the stem that is irregular:
Simple present:
ik | kom | we | komen
je | komt | jullie | komen
hij | komt | ze | komen
Simple past:
ik | kwam | we | kwamen
je | kwam | jullie | kwamen
hij | kwam | ze | kwamen
Past participle: gekomen
Can you see the irregularity?
Recall the [first stem rule](#/lesson/Verbs.Re03): a long vowel infinitive requires a long vowel stem. At least, this is what goes for regular verbs. In the case of the long-vowel-verb _komen,_ we would expect the stem to be _koom._ But instead, we have a short-vowel-stem _kom._
A few examples of verbs with the same conjugation as 'komen': 'bekomen' (to recover), 'ontkomen' (to escape), 'overkomen' (to happen to), 'aankomen' (to arrive, to put on weight).
Note that the examples above give you the unstressed [personal pronouns](#/lesson/Pronouns.Ps01). Some pronouns change when they are stressed in a phrase: je/jij, we/wij, ze/zij (both singular and plural).
