Conjugating Stem-Changing Verbs
Learning Objective
I can conjugate stem-changing verbs in the present tense.
Key Concepts
Stem-changing verbs, also known as boot verbs or shoe verbs, change in every form except nosotros and vosotros.
In Spanish, there are three types of stem-changing verbs: E to IE, O to UE, and E to I.
When conjugating stem-changing verbs, the forms that create the 'boot' or 'shoe' shape in a conjugation chart are the ones that change, while the nosotros and vosotros forms remain unchanged.
