Spanish Stem-Changing Verbs
e→iee→i
o→ueu→ue
How do these verbs work?
First, let’s start with one.Querer: to want, to love
Rule #1 Los verbos de zapato tienen las conjugaciones regulares.
oasa
amosáisan
oese
emos éisen
oese
imosísen
They look like boxes.
hablar – ar = stemhablo hablamoshablas habláishabla hablan
comer – er = stemcomocomemoscomescoméiscomecomen
vivir – ir = stemvivovivimosvives vivísvive viven
Rule #2The stem changes.
What’s the stem again?
Infinitive - ar/er/ir ending = STEM
Hablar – ar = Habl
Beber – er = Beb
Vivir – ir = Viv
Rule #3
There are no stem changes in the Nosotros and Vosotros forms. Ever. Never.

• Add the conjugation endings to the rest of the forms leaving room for the new stem.

Querer – er = Querer (ie) - er =
QuerQuier
• Add the new stem to your 4 remaining conjugations (All but the nosotros and vosotros forms.
Querer
quiero queremos
