1 Gramática Stemchangers o-ue, e-ie

2 Stem-changing verbs A stem-changer has a change in the vowels in the stem. This change occurs in every form EXCEPT the nosotros (and vosotros) form. These are called boot verbs.

3 Stem-changers: o>ue The following verbs are classified as o>ue stem-changers. dormir (to sleep) Use dormir hasta to say you sleep until a certain time. almorzar (to eat lunch) volver (to return/go back) llover (to rain)

4 SO, when you conjugate these verbs, the “o” will change to a “ue” in every form except the nosotros form. **Remember: There’s NO stem-change in the NOsotros form. Stem-changers: o>ue

5 Stem-changers: dormir (o>ue) duermodormimos duermes duermeduermen

6 Why call them “boot verbs?” Because, if you drew a boot and put a verb chart over it, the only forms that would change are inside the boot! duermenduerme duermes dormimosduermo

7 o>ue Write the verb charts for the following: almorzar volver vuelvenvuelve vuelves volvemosvuelvo almuerzanalmuerza almuerzas almorzamosalmuerzo

8 llover (o>ue) You will only use the singular 3 rd person form of llover. I can’t rain! Only “it” can. llueve = it rains

9 Stem-changing verbs: e>ie These follow the same pattern as o>ue stem-changers. Only, the e changes to an ie in the stem. **Remember: there is NO stem-change in the NOsotros form.

10 The following are e>ie stem-changing verbs: empezar (to begin) use empezar a + inf. to say what you start to do merendar (to have a snack) entender (to understand) querer (to want) Stem-changing verbs: e>ie

11 Stem-changers: empezar (e>ie) empiezo empezamos empiezas empiezaempiezan

12 e>ie Write the verb charts for the following: merendar entender querer meriendanmerienda meriendas merendamos meriendo entiendenentiende entiendes entendemosentiendo quierenquiere quieres queremosquiero
