hola amigos welcome back to the language
tutor have a great lesson for you today
you know friends we've been talking
about
ar verbs and er verbs and ir verbs and
we've been bringing in those verbs and
by the way you can look up any
a-r-e-r-i-r verb now and use it in
conversation by applying those endings
but you've heard me say it before in
every language you've got rule followers
and you've got rule breakers
you got troublemakers and so today we're
going to learn about a few troublemakers
okay some irregular forms that are very
common in spanish and they just have
some strange adjustments to them it's no
big deal though you can practice them
and it'll just start sounding natural to
you and you got them down with no
problem all right so get ready to write
i hope you have your cuaderno and your
pluma your lapis with you so you can
take a few notes
but here we go with some irregular
present tense verbs okay so we're still
in the present tense we'll get to the
past tense later and all kinds of other
fun tenses
but right now present tense okay so
first verb i want you to write down
today
is
t-r-a-e-r
now this word means to carry or bring
okay
now
i want to tell you about this verb
because
it's pretty normal except for the yo
form now in the next several verbs i'm
going to give you
the troublemaker is the yol form anytime
we have you've heard me say a trouble
you've heard me say before that if we
have a troublemaker it's going to be the
old form okay
so this is the only weird form we don't
take off the
uh er and then put an o on it and say
trau that that really doesn't work so
what it is is t-r-a-i-g-o
g-o yes where did that come from we
don't know came from latin so um the
next several verbs are going to have
those g
in the yo form okay so traego is how you
say i bring all right now the next one
is
means to do it means to make
um and again
it's not h-a-c-o
we change it it's h-a-g-o
so i do or i make is ago
i go
all right the next one is poner
poner this is to put
now you can also use this in a couple
different ways like
to set the table
you put the table instead of set the
table okay or put on clothes you use the
verb poner also
and
this yo form is
p-o-n-g-o pongo
pongo
now i'll stop and just remind you really
quick if you're if you're saying right
now but what about the other forms those
are normal so you've got bongo
if i were going to say the others it'd
be bones
just like you would a normal er verb
okay so again it's only that your form
that's being a troublemaker okay
now this verb is salir salir is to leave
or go out
couldn't be go out with sometimes
and it's your form is you might be
guessing already
salgo
salgo it's got that g as well
okay and one more with a g in the yo
form and that is supo ner su poner
to
suppose and it is just like poner with
an su so it's supongo
supongo okay that gives you a good start
on some of those strange g forms
remember the rest are just like normal
er or ir endings okay
now let's get into a couple other
strange ones i've mentioned this before
in a lesson but this verb ver
ved i just want to remind you about the
verb ver
um it's got that yo form that you would
think you you know it's v e r so you
think we'd take off that er and just put
an o on it it'd be vol
but once again just a reminder we're
going to leave that e in the yo forum
that's the only exception to that verb
so it's veo
okay and then the rest are just like
you would you know ves ve vemos vez ven
just like normal er verbs
and the next one is
just as a quick reminder two e's we
treat them just like you would any other
er verb only taken off the last er
which leaves you with an e
and therefore you when you say i read is
leo and then you read as lei es so you
end up with two e's again in those just
a quick reminder about that
now let's talk about the verb saber
saber means to know
i want to go ahead and tell you
something about the verb saber you know
in spanish
we have two ways to say to be right
so you have to learn the difference
between ser and estar we also have two
different ways to say to no
so i'm gonna tell you saber is to know
but it's to know facts
or information about something
or how to do something
okay
so if if you're saying you know how to
do something you would use saber now the
other forum is more in depth and it's
knowing people but we'll get to that one
later so saber means to know facts
information or how to do something if i
were going to say i know how to cook
i say i know to cook
yo
i don't say i know how to you just say i
know to cook or i know to play guitar
that's how we say we know how to do
something but it's your form is not
sabol s-a-b-o it's this
with s-e with an accent on the e
and that means i know i know a fact i
know information i know something that
you've just told me and uh if you don't
know something you ever heard anybody
say no say
no say as they're saying i don't know i
don't know the fact that you're asking
about
okay let's move on the next one is
that means to fall
the yo form is going to be a lot like
traer okay so it's going to be c-a-i-g-o
all right so that's i fall
okay
now we're gonna move into some verbs
that are irregular in the present test
because they actually change their form
okay and this is a little bit like stem
changing verbs but that's a lesson down
the road right now why don't you just
focus on getting these irregulars down
and we'll get the rules behind it later
that'll probably be the best thing okay
so the first verb
is de sir desir which means to say or to
tell
now let's put the chart up because i
want you to to visualize this okay so
you might want to draw the chart in your
cuaderno right now on your papel
and let's put the conjugations up now
the the yo form of this is digo
digo d-i-g-o so it also has a g in it
but
here's what happens
um in the boot
you're gonna notice in the boot with
this
that we're changing that e
after the d we're changing it to an i
okay so yes we are changing that that
stem that first part of it
um
and so we're gonna have a that d e is
gonna be a d i
in the boot okay
now the other weird thing is that the
old form has a g on it okay now we can
kind of start to apply the normal
endings so remember the g remember the
the letter change in the boot and now
we've got diego
di say
and down here on the bottom right we
have di sen
okay but now nosotros in vosotros form
we have not
changed the second letter
it's de simos de cis
okay
so right now just get those down and i
say you say they tell we tell
get those down all right next verb
is going to be venir
veneer to come
okay veneer is a lot like tener that we
learned in the past okay in a past
lesson
veneer to come
is gonna have an irregular yo form as
well and we're also going to change some
of the letters in the boot okay
and we've got this vengo
vengo
v-e-n-g-o
now down here in the tu form we have
vienes
vienes
and then down here in the bottom left
the el a usted form
is
viene
and then the eos es ustedes form is
vienen
okay but now conjugate the nosotros form
in vosotros form
regularly without changing
those uh stem without changing the first
part of it okay
so veneer is a lot veneers a lot like
tener the the verb to to have okay
i'm going to give you a couple more
types of verbs and a couple little rules
to bring in
um
when certain verbs in spanish end in
certain letters we have to make some
significant changes
so first of all let's start with verbs
in spanish that end with these endings
g-u-i-r
g-e-r
or gir
sometimes the infinitive unchanged verb
ends with one of these endings
and we have to make some spelling
changes when we use it in conversation
or write it let's start with an example
extinguish extinguish to extinguish
now this ends in a g-u-i-r
so when we use it in its your form we're
actually going to take out
that u and the i and we're just gonna
have the oh extinguish
extinguish
okay um and other than that we we uh can
pretty much conjugate it like we would
any other verb taking off the ir
and then putting the ending on there
okay
so but that g is going to use it's going
to lose that u and the i okay now let's
look at
ger and gir verbs
in the old form for these
that is going to change that g is going
to change to a j
okay so let's look at this verb escojer
escojer which means to
choose or elect something uh pick
something
escoger
it ends in a ger so let's change that g
to it a j in the yo form and we get this
escojo e s c o j o
so you just gotta remember the g in the
o form to change that
uh to a j here's another one
okay to direct is
you know you got d-r-d-i-r-i-j-o
so that g changes to a j
all right friends now that gives you uh
some really good grammar rules today
just try to think of some verbs maybe
you even want to google some verbs and
spanish that in
with
those letters and try to bring them in
your conversation because it'll start
sounding natural to you okay
practice all you can friends we'll see
you next time on the language tutor
