Los verbos con cambios en yo

Some of the verbs used to talk about our activities in class, have changes in the yo form.

  • hacer (to do, to make): hago, haces, hace, hacemos, hacéis hacen
  • poner (to put, to set): pongo, pones, pone, ponemos, ponéis, ponen
  • salir (to go out, to leave): salgo, sales, sale, salimos, salís, salen
  • traer (to bring): traigo, traes, trae, traemos, traéis, traen

In Spanish it is necessary to use the preposition de with the verb salir when stating that someone is leaving a place.

Español English
Luis sale de la biblioteca a las ocho. Luis leaves the library at eight o’clock.

The verb venir (to come) has a change in the yo form as well as in some of its other forms. You will notice that it is somewhat similar to the verb tener.

Singular Plural
yo vengo nosotros/as venimos
vienes vosotros/as venís
usted viene ustedes vienen

Expresando habilidades

To tell what you can or are able to do, use the verb poder (to be able to). The verb poder is followed by an infinitive (a verb ending in -ar, -er or -ir).

Singular Plural

puedes vosotros/as podéis
usted puede ustedes pueden
él/ella puede ellos ellas pueden
