STEM-CHANGERS: E >IE & E >I

In the present tense, there are four groups of stem-changing verbs: e> ie e> i o> ue (u>ue) jugar (to play a sport) is the only Spanish verb that has a u>ue stem change. Jugar is followed by a +definite article when the name of sport or game is mentioned. jugar - to play a sport / a board game Vocabulary ajedrez – chess el básquetbol – basketball el béisbol – baseball el fútbol – soccer el fútbol americano – [american] football el golf – golf el tenis – tennis el voleibol – volleyball las cartas – cards las damas– checkers los videojuegos – video games EX: ¿Jugamos al fútbol? ¿Te gusta jugar al tenis? Remember that the second vowel changes when the verb has two vowels For example in the verb preferir, the second e stem-changes to ie Stem-changes occur in all conjugations except nosotros and vosotros. Stem-changing verbs are called "boot verbs" because of the shape you can draw around the conjugated verbs; excluding nosotros and vosotros.
