Some irregular verbs can be grouped together because they all have the same irregular change in their conjugation. The verbs listed below are called GO verbs because they have a GO in the YO form. For example
hacer (to do, to make)
hago hacemos
haces hacéis
hace hacen
Read the list of other verbs that will have a GO in their YO form.
caer to fall
decir to say, to tell
hacer to do, to make
oír to hear
poner to put, to place
salir to leave
tener to have
traer to bring
venir to come
Read the following conjugations out loud. Note that some verbs also have some other changes. Try saying the verbs without the GO in the YO form or the other changes. Are they easier or harder to say with or without the changes?
caer decir
caigo caemos digo decimos
caes caéis dices decís
cae caen dice dicen
hacer oir
hago hacemos oigo oímos
haces hacéis oyes oís
hace hacen oye oyen
poner salir
pongo ponemos salgo salimos
pones ponéis sales salís
pone ponen sale salen
tener traer
tengo tenemos traigo traemos
tienes tenéis traes traéis
tiene tienen trae traen
venir
vengo venimos
vienes venís
viene vienen
