Some stem changers include (e-ie) (o-ue) (e-i).

The stem changes only happen in the boot forms: yo, tú, él, and ellos.

Some irregular “yo”s are: –go verbs, (g-j) (c-zc) (ver-veo) (saber-sé).

These transformations only happen in the yo form.

Saber means to know a fact or to know how to do something. It is often followed by an infinitive or a subordinate clause.

Conocer means to know someone or to be familiar with someone, something, or somewhere. It can only be followed by the a direct object, never by an infinitive or a subordinate clause. Remember that if the direct object is a person, the preposition a must be used.

Reflexive Pronouns

Me Nos

Te Os

Se se

Reflexive Verbs are verbs that require a reflexive pronoun when used. They can be identified by the –se suffix appended to the infinitive.

Impersonal expressions are used when the subject of a verb is unspecified (but is human). They are mostly used to make general statements and to express rules.

To form the impersonal se, verbs are always 3rd person singular and are commonly followed by a direct object.

1. For verbs that end in -cer and -cir, change the c to zcfor the yo form.

2. For verbs that end in -ger and -gir, change the g to jfor the yo form

3. For verbs that end in -guir, change the gu to g for the yo form
