Hello, everybody! How were your holidays? I’m pretty sure you had a great time!

So let’s kick off 2013 with the second post of the irregular verbs series in Spanish. These verbs have vowel changes in the Present tense.

The verb irregularity today is the vowel change o to ue in verbs like almorzar (to have lunch).

Present Indicative

Yo almuerzo
Tú almuerzas
Él/ella/usted almuerza
Nosotros(as) almorzamos
Vosotros(as) almorzáis
Ellos/ellas/ustedes almuerzan

Present subjunctive

que yo almuerce
que tú almuerces
que él/ella/usted almuerce
que nosotros(as) almorcemos
que vosotros(as) almorcéis
que ellos/ellas/ustedes almuercen

Imperative

almuerza (tú) – almuerce (usted)
almorcemos
almorzad (vosostros) – almuercen (ustedes)

The following verbs follow the same kind of conjugation. Practice makes perfect so when you have some free time, conjugate them and master them! The changing vowel is in blue, ok?

acordar(se) (to remember) – acostar(se) (to lie down, to go to bed) – apostar (to bet) – colgar (to hang) – comprobar (to confirm) – contar (to tell, to count) – desenvolver (to unwrap) – devolver (to give back) – doler (to hurt) – dormir (to sleep) – encontrar(se) (to meet, to find) – envolver (to wrap) – forzar (to force) – morder (to bite) – morir (to die) – mostrar (to show) – mover (to move) – poder (to be able to) – probar (to try) – recordar (to remember) – resolver (to solve) – rodar (to roll) – soler (to be used to) – soltar (to let go, to release) – soñar (to dream) – volar (to fly) – volver (to come back)
