STEM-CHANGING VERBS : E:I

✏️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 third group of stem-changing verbs, the letter e in the stem changes to i in all forms except the nosotros and vosotros.👇

repetir👇
repito repites repite repetimos
repetís repiten

✏️Here's another e:i stem changing verb. Compare it to the regular verb vivir. Notice that the endings are the same for regular verbs and stem-changing verbs.👇

competir (e:i)
vivir (regular -ir verb)
 
compito vivo
compites vives
compite vive
competimos vivimos
competís vivís
compiten viven

✏️Here's another e:i stem-changing verb. Notice how the stem doesn't change in the nosotros and vosotros forms.👇
