    Understand and use verbs that have irregularities in the yo form

    Gramática: Irregulares con yo

    You have learned so far that there are some regular verbs when only the ending changes, other verbs with changes in the root vowel, and other totally irregular verbs when the entire word changes. In addition to these conjugations, there is a group of verbs that may be regular, irregular, stem changers *and* have an irregularity in their yo (first person singular) form.

    Vamos a ver cuáles son esos verbos…

    Tener (to have)
    Stem
    changer
    Hacer (to make/to do)
    Regular in the present
    Salir (to leave, to go out)
    Regular in the present
    Traer (to bring)
    Regular in the present
    Venir (to come)
    Stem
    changer
    Valer (to be worth)
    Regular in the present
    Poner (to put)
    Regular in the present
    Seguir (to follow)
    Stem
    changer
    Decir (to say, to tell)
    Stem

    tenemos hacemos salimos traemos venimos valemos ponemos seguimos decimos
    tenéis hacéis salís traéis venís valéis ponéis seguís decís
    tienen hacen salen traen vienen valen ponen siguen dicen
    Oír (to hear)
    Irregular, “y” in some forms because of three vowels together: “i” in the middle becomes a “y” sound, and an accent mark is needed at other times to separate the weak and strong vowels.
    Ver (to see)
    Regular, but note that accent mark is not needed for vosotros form, since it is one syllable.
    Dar (to give)
    Regular, but note that accent mark is not needed for vosotros form, since it is one syllable.
    oigo veo doy
    oyes ves das
    oye ve da
    oímos vemos damos
    oís veis dais
    oyen ven dan
