Preterite - Stem Changes -IR Verbs E to I Flashcards
Normally, when conjugating a verb, you only change the ending. For some verbs, you will also change the stem. Stem-changing –ar and –er verbs in the present are regular in the preterit. That is, there are no stem changes in –ar and –er verbs in the preterit. The only verbs that have stem changes in the preterit are some –ir verbs. They stem change only in the third person forms (e.g. él, ellos)
