1 -go Verbs There is a small but very important group of verbs that we call the “-go” verbs. These verbs are: Conocer: to know (people) Hacer: to make/do Poner: to put Saber: to know (information) Salir: to leave Tener: to have Traer: to bring Venir: to come

2 Why are these grouped together??
Good question! We just looked at the verb tener. Do you remember why the yo form was special?

3 Correcto! yo tengo: the yo form ends in –go.
So what do you think the yo form of venir is?

4 On the “go” yo vengo How about the yo forms for: Salir Poner

5 “Go” for it! yo salgo yo pongo

6 Wait! There’s more! There are a few quirks: hacer > yo hago
traer > yo traigo conocer > yo conozco

7 What about “saber”? Good question! It’s very irregular:
saber > yo sé Notice the accent on sé

8 Let’s look at those “yo” forms again…
Conocer: yo conozco Hacer: yo hago Poner: yo pongo Saber: yo sé Salir: yo salgo Tener: yo tengo Traer: yo traigo Venir: yo vengo

9 What about those other forms??
They are regular!! For example: hacer yo hago tú haces él hace nosotros hacemos ellos hacen

10 Venir VENIR changes its stem, just like TENER: yo vengo tú vienes
él,ella Ud. viene nosotros venimos ellos, ellas, Uds. vienen

11 Let’s take a look! > saber yo ______ tú ______ él ______
nosotros ______ ellos ______

12 Saber yo sé tú sabes él sabe nosotros sabemos ellos saben
Saber is included in this group because only the “yo” form is irregular in the present.

13 Here’s a second helping!
> conocer yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______

14 Conocer yo conozco tú conoces él conoce nosotros conocemos
ellos conocen

15 One more for the road… > salir yo ______ tú ______ él ______
nosotros ______ ellos ______

16 salir yo salgo tú sales él sale nosotros salimos ellos salen

17 How about if we mix up the forms?
Yo _______ (conocer) a mucha gente de Nicaragua, pero mi hermano ________ (conocer) a más personas de Honduras.

18 Conocer Yo conozco a mucha gente de Nicaragua, pero mi hermano conoce a más personas de Honduras.

19 Una Mezcla (a mixture) Cuando yo _______ (tener) tiempo, _______ (salir) al parque. Si _______ (venir) unos amigos, _______ (hacer) algo diferente.

20 Una Mezcla Cuando yo tengo tiempo, salgo al parque. Si vienen unos amigos, hacemos algo diferente. Notice how the subjects change in this sentence!

21 In conclusion… The –go verbs have an irregular yo form: conozco, hago, pongo, salgo, sé, tengo, traigo vengo The other forms are regular according to their conjugations. For example, traigo, traes, trae, traemos, traen Tener & venir are stem-changing verbs and also change in the tú, él, and ellos forms: tienes, tiene, tienen; vienes, viene, vienen

22 That’s all, folks! Now go on to Stem-changing verbs (e-ie).
