-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
Why are these grouped together?? Good question! We just looked at the verb tener. Do you remember why the yo form was special?
Correcto! yo tengo: the yo form ends in –go. So what do you think the yo form of venir is?
On the “go” yo vengo How about the yo forms for: Salir Poner
“Go” for it! yo salgo yo pongo
Wait! There’s more! There are a few quirks: hacer > yo hago traer > yo traigo conocer > yo conozco
What about “saber”? Good question! It’s very irregular: saber > yo sé Notice the accent on sé
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
What about those other forms?? They are regular !! For example: hacer yo hago tú haces él hace nosotros hacemos ellos hacen
Venir VENIR changes its stem, just like TENER: yo vengo tú vienes él,ella Ud. viene nosotros venimos ellos, ellas, Uds. vienen
Let’s take a look! > saber yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______
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.
Here’s a second helping! > conocer yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______
Conocer yo conozco tú conoces él conoce nosotros conocemos ellos conocen
One more for the road… > salir yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______
salir yo salgo tú sales él sale nosotros salimos ellos salen
How about if we mix up the forms? Yo _______ (conocer) a mucha gente de Nicaragua, pero mi hermano ________ (conocer) a más personas de Honduras.
Conocer Yo conozco a mucha gente de Nicaragua, pero mi hermano conoce a más personas de Honduras.
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, trai go, 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
