Yeah, I know Spanish verbs are hard to learn but sometimes you just need to follow a pattern and bingo! you get it right.<\/p>\n
Our first irregular verb pattern is when the root vowel \u2018e\u2019 becomes \u2018ie\u2019. Check out the verb apretar (to tighten).<\/p>\n
Yo aprieto
\nT\u00fa aprietas
\n\u00c9l \/ ella \/ usted aprieta
\nNosotros apretamos
\nVosotros apret\u00e1is
\nEllos\/ellas \/ ustedes aprietan<\/p>\n
So, you change the \u2018e\u2019 to \u2018ie\u2019 in the yo, t\u00fa, \u00e9l\/ella\/usted and ellos\/ellas\/ustedes persons.<\/p>\n
