English Grammar Connection: Remember
that there are no stem-changing verbs in the
present tense of English (see pg. 224). In
Spanish, o ue stem changes happen in all
three classes of verbs: -ar, -er, and –ir.
Some verbs have an o  ue stem change in the
present tense. How do you form the present
tense of these verbs?
Presentación de Gramática
pg. 252

Here’s How: Remember that stem-changing verbs have regular
–ar, -er, and –ir endings. For o  ue stem-changing verbs, the
last o of the stem changes to ue in all forms except
nosotros(as) and vosotros(as).
Poder  to be able, can
yo
tú
él, ella, ud.
puedo
puedes
puede
nosotros(as) podemos
vosotros(as) podéis
ellos(as), uds. pueden
Carmen puede ir al concierto.

Another verb you know with this stem change is pedir.
¿Pides una ensalada?
Are you ordering a salad?
Siempre pedimos pollo.

Pronunciación
La letra c con e, i – pg. 259

Before e and i, the Spanish c is pronounced like the c in
city.
Listen and repeat:
ce  cero, centro, cerrar, quince
ci  cien, cine, precio, estación

In many regions of Spain, the c before e and i is
pronounced like the th of the English word think.
