This group of verbs will look familiar. These are all stem-changing verbs in the present indicative, and they, as you could probably guess, will change their stems a bit here. But we need to be alert: it’s the way they change.
Some good news, though, is that the subjunctive endings you just learned are still in play.
More good news: these changes are predictable. ‑AR, ‑ER, and ‑IR verbs where E→IE and O→UE follow the rules we learned above for most of the forms but are going to have a unique stem in the nosotros and vosotros forms.
Let’s take a look. We have an example of each type mentioned above:
As you can see, starting with the yo form correctly produces the conjugated forms for most, but for these groups the nosotros and vosotros forms do not take the stem change.
