STEM-CHANGING VERBS : E:IE
✏️Remember, there are three types of infinitives: -ar, -er, -ir. Infinitives are made up of two parts: the ending and the stem. In the following examples, the stem is underlined and the ending is in bold.👇
hablar
comer
vivir
✏️With regular verbs, the stem stays the same, and the ending changes as they are conjugated.
hablo como vivo
hablas comes vives
habla come vive
hablamos comemos vivimos
habláis coméis vivís
hablan comen viven
✏️With some verbs, the stem also changes when you conjugate them. In the present tense, there are three groups of stem-changing verbs:👇
o:ue
e:ie
e:i
✏️With the second group of stem-changing verbs, the letter e in the stem changes to ie in all forms except the nosotros and vosotros.
