Question

What are stem-changing and ‘Yo-go’ verbs? How do we conjugate those differently than regular verbs?

¿Duermes 8 horas?
¿Tienes un perro o gato?

Answer 1

• Yo duermo 8 horas.
• Yo tengo un perro.

`\boxed{\bold{Explanation}}`

Remember that stem-changing verbs there is a subtype that is the verbs o-ue.

These change, apart from the endings of the conjugations, the roots of the verbs themselves. As "dormir" (sleep) change the "o" to "ue".

Remember that yo-go verbs are verbs whose endings are "-go" always with the tonic pronoun "yo" (I).

In this case:

• Tener ⇝ Tengo

Answer 2

Si yo duerMO 8 horas cada noche.

Yo tenGO un perro.
