  2. Stem-Changing Verbs What is a stem changing verb? Remember that a verb has two parts: 1) the stem 2) the “ar”/”er”/”ir” ending. Example: Comer – to eat (cross out the ending “er” and what is left is the stem. comer Stem“er” ending In a stem changing verb, the stem changes though the endings follow the regular “ar”/”er”/or “ir” pattern.

  3. Stem-Changing Verbs There are 4 different types of stem changing verbs: e-ie stem changers e – i stem changers o-ue stem changers u – ue stem changers Let’s take a look at e-ie stem changers and how to conjugate them: Querer = to want. It is an e-ie stem changing verb. It also has the endings for “er” verbs.

  4. Querer (e-ie) – to want • How to conjugate: • Cross of the “er” ending and you are left with the stem “quer”. Because querer is an e-ie stem changer, we have to change the “e” in the stem to “ie” before we add our endings. • IMPORTANT NOTE: Stem changing verbs NEVER EVER change their stem in the NOSOTROS/VOSOTROS forms of the verb. • Yoquiero= I want • Túquieres= you want • él/ella/ustedquiere= • he/she/you want nosotros/asQUERemos = we want Ellos/ellas/ustedesquieren= They/you guys want

  5. Let’s Practice conjugating an “e-ie” verbcerrar – to close Yo Tú él/ella/usted Nosotros/as Ellos/ellas/ustedes cierro = I close cierras = you (fr) close cierra = he/she closes/you (fml) close. cerramos = we close cierran = they/you all close

  6. Boot Verbs Stem-changing verbs are often referred to as “boot verbs”. This is because the forms of the verb that change the stem make the shape of a boot

  7. Entender – to understand(e-ie stem changing verb)

  8. IMPORTANT Note: When one verb follows another, the FIRST VERB is conjugated and the second verb is in the INFINITIVE form. EXAMPLES: ¿Túquieresmirar la television o leer un libro? Do you want to watch TV or to read a book? Paula prefierellevarel vestidoazul. Paula prefers to wear the blue dress. Ella empiezaestudiarsusapuntes. She begins to study her notes.

  9. Let’s review - Steps to conjugating a stem-changing verb Cross off AR/ER/ or IR from the infinitive. Write the pronouns (yo, tú, etc…) Change the stem to the changed stem in everything EXCEPT NOSOTROS AND VOSOTROS. 4) Add the AR/ER/ or IR endings (depending on the type of verb. 5) Translate pronouns and all forms of the verb into English. Now you are done!!! If you did it correctly, the stem changed forms of the verb are shaped like a boot.

  10. As stated earlier: There are 4 types of stem-changing verbs: e-ie/e-i/o-ue/u-ue. Here are 3 types of them…. e  ie pensar = to think querer = to want cerrar = to close entender = to understand preferir = to prefer empezar = to understand o  ue almorzar = to eat lunch poder = to be able/can encontrar = to find dormir = to sleep volver = to return e  i servir = to serve pedir = to order seguir = to follow competir = to compete
