So do the continuous tenses (with the gerund “pudiendo”). The subjunctive imperfect (both of them) and subjunctive future all have the same “o” to “u” change for every conjugation with no irregularities. In these cases, the stem changes to “podr” and follows the regular endings, like “yo podría,” “tú podrías,” etc. There are also irregularities with the conditional and future indicative tenses.
The subjunctive present tense also follows the same pattern, with “yo pueda,” “tú puedas,” and only the “ellos” plural form changing.īut when you get to the preterite, you have irregular forms with “yo pude” and “él/ella/usted pudo.” The other forms, including “nosotros” and “vosotros” change from “o” to “u” without incident. The “nosotros” and “vosotros” forms do not change. The present tense is straightforward enough, with “yo puedo,” “tú puedes,” and so forth. Many of the tenses have changes to keep track of, other than the stem change. This is another example of an “o” to “ue” stem change, but it’s also an irregular verb.
The “nosotros” and “vosotros” forms do not change stem, and none of the other tenses does either. You would say, “yo huelo,” “tú hueles,” etc. “Oler” means to smell, and you conjugate it like “dormir,” but here o changes to “hue” instead of “ue.” This is only true in the present tense, present subjunctive, and imperative tenses. The subjunctive, imperative (command form), and continuous conjugations all have the ue/u change, too. The one exception to this is the preterite tense - changes the “o” to a “u” instead of a “ue” for the “él” and “ellos” forms (“él/ella/usted durmió” and “ellos durmieron”). In the preterite, imperfect, conditional, and future tenses, the middle of the verb keeps the “o.” There are also some other changes in other tenses, though. “Dormir,” to sleep, is an example of this. In the present tense, this looks like “yo duermo,” “tú duermes,” etc. One of the three most popular stem changes is when the “o” changes to “ue.” Read on, and you’ll find six Spanish stem-changing verbs to study so the words flow right out of your mouth. With these verbs, you’ll find different kinds of changes in the middle and at the end. We’ve put together a handy list to help you out. We’re pretty sure everyone else learning Spanish has trouble with this, too. Do you have trouble conjugating verbs in Spanish? You’re speaking well, the words are flowing off your tongue, and then you trip right over that strange verb?
