Review of Regular Verbs and e to ie StemChanging Verbs Spanish I Señora Hoffman-Fields Spanish verbs have 2 parts: a stem and an ending hablar = to speak comer = to eat vivir = to live pensar = to think querer = to want preferir = to prefer When conjugating a regular verb, you drop the ending and add a new one that matches the subject. hablar = to speak hablo = I speak comer = to eat comes = you eat vivir = to eat vivimos = we eat Note that the stem of the verb did not change. Stem-changing verbs have a spelling change in the stem of the verb. Stem-changing verbs are also called “shoe verbs” or “boot verbs” because of the pattern of spelling changes. Note the spelling change only occurs in the “boot” shape pensar (to think) (e to ie) p enso (I think) pensamos (we think) p ensas (you think) pensáis (vosotros think) (they / you all p ensa (he/she thinks) p ensan think) Verbs with a stem-change will often be marked like this: preferir (e-ie) pensar (e-ie) querer (e-ie) Verbs with a stem-change use the exact same endings as regular verbs! hablar yo hablo tú hablas él ella habla Ud. nosotros hablamos vosotros habláis ellos ellas hablan Uds. cerrar (e to ie) yo c erro nosotros cerramos tú c él ella Ud. vosotros cerráis ellos ellas cierran Uds. as c erra Verbs with a stem-change use the exact same endings as regular verbs! beber yo bebo nosotros bebemos tú bebes vosotros bebéis él ellos ella bebe ellas beben Ud.
