APUNTES: IRREGULAR YO FORM VERBS (WITH VERB LIST 6B) OBJECTIVE: TLW express actions in the present tense using verbs that have an irregular first person conjugation. Some verbs in Spanish have an irregular first person conjugation. What does this mean, Srta. L. Ford? This simply means that in the “Yo” form, the verb does not follow the same rules of conjugation as it does in the other forms. These verbs have their own distinct conjugation in the Yo form. 2. This rule ONLY APPLIES TO THE “YO” FORM! These conjugations must be learned and memorized. After the Yo form, these verbs go back to conjugating following the normal pattern. An L.
