irregular 'yo' form present tense

irregular 'yo' form present tense

Sr. Branson

Let's start with '-go' verbs! All of these verbs end with '-go' in the 'yo' form...

• yo / hacer = yo hago (I do / I make)

• yo / tener = yo tengo (I have)

• yo / salir = yo salgo (I go out)

• yo / poner = yo pongo (I put)

• yo / venir = yo vengo (I come)

• yo / traer = yo traigo (I bring)

• yo / decir = yo digo (I say / I tell)

What about the other forms? (tú, él/ella/Ud., nosotros (as), vosotros (as), ellos/ellas/Uds.)

For the most part they will follow the rules in the other 5 forms. Tener, venir & decir are stem-changing verbs, so they are irregular in the boot pattern.
