- Recognize the correct conjugations of verbs that have irregularities in the yo form
You have learned so far that there are some regular verbs that simply add the ending to suit their subject, other verbs with changes in the stem vowel, and other totally irregular verbs. 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) ‘Yo’ and stem changer |
Hacer (to make/to do) Regular other than ‘yo’ |
Salir (to leave, to go out) Regular other than ‘yo’ |
Traer (to bring) Regular other than ‘yo’ |
Venir (to come) ‘Yo’ and stem changer |
Valer (to be worth) Regular other than ‘yo’ |
Poner (to put) Regular other than ‘yo’ |
Seguir (to follow) ‘Yo’ and stem changer |
Decir (to say, to tell) ‘Yo’ and stem changer |
| tengo | hago | salgo | traigo | vengo | valgo | pongo | sigo | digo |
| tienes | haces | sales | traes | vienes | vales | pones | sigues | dices |
| tiene | hace | sale | trae | viene | vale | pone | sigue | dice |
| 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, has “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 other than ‘yo’, but note that accent mark is not needed for vosotros form, since it is one syllable. |
Dar (to give) Regular other than ‘yo’, 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 |
