*The verb "dormir" is called a stem-changing verb because the "o" changes to a "ue" when it is conjugated:
Yo duermo
Tú duermes
Él/Ella/Ud. duerme
Nosotros dormimos
Vosotros dormís
Ellos/Ellas/Uds. duermen
** Hacer is irregular in the "yo" form only
Yo hago
Conjugation of -ER and -IR verbs
Just like with -AR verbs, take the stem of the verb (we will use "correr" and "escribir" as examples) by dropping the -ER or -IR ending (corr-/escrib-)
Then replace it with the correct ending according to the subject
Yo -o
Tú -es
Usted/ él/ ella -e
Nosotros/Nosotras (-ER) -emos (-IR) -imos
Vosotros/Vosotras (-ER) -éis (-IR) -ís
Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas -en
*Note: the "nosotros" form does not take the same ending for both -ER and -IR verbs.
Correr
Yo corro
Tú corres
Usted/Él/Ella corre
Nosotros/Nosotras corremos
Vosotros/Vosotras corréis
Ustedes/Ellos/Ellas corren
