We’ve seen these verbs before, back in the preterite indicative. In the subjunctive these are going to change again in the same way (C → QU ; G → GU ; Z → C), but now they’ll do it in all forms (not just the yo form). Just like before, these spell changes allow the spelling and the pronunciation to work together. See here:
There could be more! Some others teach that there are many more spell-changing verbs* in the preterite, but, the way VerbMaster has set it up, we have “caught” a lot of potential irregulars and made the subjunctive a bit more tidy for you. Starting from the yo form of the present indicative and removing the -O saved you a lot of trouble.
The only way to master these verbs is through targeted practice. Fortunately for you, VerbMaster’s intelligent tutoring system makes conjugation practice a breeze!
In this session, you’ll practice conjugating llegar, buscar, and realizar in the present subjunctive. So what are you waiting for? Get to studying, you’re on your way to becoming a VerbMaster!
