Questions & Answers about Ok, je viens demain.

Why does it use je viens instead of something like "je suis viens" for "I am coming"?
French doesn't have a separate "-ing" tense. The simple present tense je viens translates to both "I come" and "I am coming" depending on the context. You never translate the word "am" when saying you are currently doing an action in French.
Is it normal to use Ok in French? I thought "okay" was d'accord.
Both are perfectly fine! D'accord is the traditional French way to agree, but the English word Ok is extremely popular in everyday spoken French and is used exactly the same way.
What is the infinitive (dictionary form) of viens?
It comes from the verb venir (to come). This is an irregular verb, meaning it doesn't follow the standard pattern endings. Basic forms like je viens (I come) and tu viens (you come) just have to be memorized.
Does demain always have to go at the end of the sentence?
Not always. Time words like demain (tomorrow) are flexible. You could also say Ok, demain je viens to put a little more emphasis on the day itself.
