Answer:

In stem-changing verbs in the present tense, the letter 'i' changes to 'ie' in the second and third person singular (tú and él/ella/usted) and in all persons plural (nosotros/nosotras, vosotros/vosotras, and ellos/ellas/ustedes).

Step-by-step explanation:

In stem-changing verbs in the present tense, the letter 'i' changes to 'ie' in the second and third person singular (tú and él/ella/usted) and in all persons plural (nosotros/nosotras, vosotros/vosotras, and ellos/ellas/ustedes).

For example, in the verb "querer" (to want), the stem change occurs in the second and third person singular and all persons plural, as follows:

- Yo quiero

- Tú quieres

- Él/ella/usted quiere

- Nosotros/nosotras queremos

- Vosotros/vosotras queréis

- Ellos/ellas/ustedes quieren
