24. Spelling Change Verbs Some others: Caer Leer Oír For verbs that end in -aer, -eer, -oír, and –oer Add accents to tú and nosotros(already should have one on yo) Why? Because the  "i" is weak in the face of a stronger vowel, it requires an accent mark to give it voice (so we can hear it) Why? Er verb ends are: ió and ieron So you think: creió and creieron It is too weak to be heard between the strong vowels "o" and the "e", so change the i to a y and it can be heard and now all are happy!  Creyócreyeron
