There are different types of stem changing verbs.We will start with e ie stem changing verbs.There is no way to tell if a verb is a “stem changer” or not. You will have to memorize which ones are and which ones aren’t!The “e” in the stem will change to “ie” in all forms except “nosotros” and “vosotros”.If the verb has two “e”s in the stem, always change the second one!Always remember to put the correct set of endings on the verb…-ar, -er, or –ir.
