• So, since “querer” ends en “er”
(querer), which endings will we
add?
•
•
•
•
•
•
The “er” endings:
o
es
e
emos
en
Now, let’s add our stem change.
• Remember, only the e in the stem can
change.
• querer
• entender
• If there are two e’s in the stem, the second
one always changes.
• preferir
• empezar
• Now let’s change the stems.
• Remember, e can change to ie only within
the boot. This means the nosotros &
vosotros form never changes!
