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 changer |

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. |
