  8. Orthographic Spelling Changes • Rule – You cannot change the sound of a letter by conjugating. • Example: tocar – toco – toces X toques This typically happens with AR verbs whose stems end in C, G or Z C - QU G - GU Z - C

  9. Stem Changes In The Subjunctive Tense: (AR and ER) • AR and ER verbs that have stem changes in the Yo form of the present indicative WILL be reflected in the subjunctive in the BOOT – NOT in the nosotros form.

  10. Stem Changes In The Subjunctive Tense: (AR and ER) X Colgar – cuelgo - cuelg cuelgue colguemos cuelgues cuelgue cuelguen

  11. Stem Changes In The Subjunctive Tense: (IR) • IR verbs that have stem changes in the Yo form of the present indicative WILL be reflected in the subjunctive in the BOOT – PLUS a one letter stem change in the nosotros form – box 4
