  3. How do these verbs work?

  4. Stem-changing verbs give their stems the boot!

  5. Querer

  6. Querer • First, let’s just add all the correct endings.

  7. If a verb ends in –ar, you add: o as a amos an Verb endings

  8. If a verb ends in –er, you add: o es e emos en if a verb ends in –ir, you add: o es e imos en Verb endings

  9. So, since “querer” ends en “er” (querer), which endings will we add? • The “er” endings: • o • es • e • emos • en

  10. Querer o emos es e en

  11. Now, let’s add our stem change. • Remember, only the e in the stem can change. • querer • perder • If there are two e’s in the stem, the second one always changes. • preferir • empezar

  12. Now let’s change the stems. • Remember, e can change to ie only within the boot. This means the nosotros form never changes!

  13. Querer emos o es e en

  14. Poder Jugar Dormir Soñar Volver Devolver to be able to (can) to play to sleep to dream to return (to a place) to return (a thing) The u→ue and o→ue verbs work the same way.

  15. First, find the o or u in the stem that is going to change • Poder • Jugar • Dormir • Soñar • Volver • Devolver

  16. For jugar: o as a amos an For poder: o es e emos en Then, decide which verb endings you will use.

  17. Then change it in the boot

  18. Poder ue o emos ue es ue ue e en
