Me llamo Michael Scott y quiero hablar sobre los verbos irregulares

My name is Michael Scott and I want to talk about the irregular verbs

Irregular Verbs

• There are many different kinds of irregular verbs.

• Every verb tense has its own set of irregularities.

• There are some patterns that we can learn to help us remember all the irregular verbs

Stem Changing Verbs

• Some verbs must change their stem (the main part of the verb, the part excluding the “ar”, “er”, “ir”) when being conjugated.

• It just takes practice to be able to recognize and remember the stem changing verbs
