How to Conjugate Verbs:
Stem changing verbs
Stem changing verbs are verbs that you change both the stem in the verb and the ending, unlike regular verbs where you change just the ending.
Now what you change the stem to be, in the verb, depends on the letter that is the stem in the verb.
(E.g) pedir (the underlined bit is the stem and the bold part is the ending)
Now for this verb it has a stem that is an e and for this particular verb you change the e to an i, so the verb now becomes pid__ and then the ending depends on what form you use. For example if it was yo form, the verb would be then changed to pido.
(Note: When you get to the nosotros form, the stem in the verb doesn’t change, just the ending )
Now as I stated before, the stem is changed according to itself. Here are the different stem changes.
Note: For the outcome I left the ending blank so we just focus on the stem change. But if you were to change the ending it would be changed according to what form you are using (E.g) yo, tu,Ud,nosotros,Ella e.t.c
