First, let’s just add all the correct endings.
If a verb ends in –ar, you add: oo as aa amos an
If a verb ends in –er, you add: oo es ee emos en if a verb ends in –ir, you add: oo es ee imos en
So, since “querer” ends en “er” (querer), which endings will we add? The “er” endings: oo es ee emos en
Remember, only the e in the stem can change. quer er perd er If there are two e’s in the stem, the second one always changes. prefer ir empez ar
Now let’s change the stems. Querer is a verb where e changes to ie. Remember, e can change to ie only within the boot. This means the nosotros form never changes!
quierquer quier o emos e es en
Pedir ends in –ir, so you add: o es e imos en
Now let’s change the stems. Pedir is a verb where e changes to i. Remember, e can change to i only within the boot. This means the stem of the nosotros form never changes!
