Stem-Changing Verbs
• Stem-changing verbs have a
spelling change in the stem.
• The stem can be identified by
dropping off the infinitive ending
(-AR, -ER or –IR)
• There are 4 types of stemchanging verbs:
E > IE, E > I, O > UE and U > UE.
To figure out what kind of
change takes place…..
• First, identify the stem. Drop off the
infinitive ending – the letters that are left
are called the “stem”.
COMENZAR
• Next, look at the vowel that is CLOSEST
to the end of the stem. That’s the vowel
that will change.
Sometimes it’s real easy to
figure out the change…
DORMIR
O > UE
… and sometimes it’s not.
E > I ???
PREFER IR E > IE ???
If the verb is an –IR infinitive, it’s likely to be an
E>I
stem-changing verb.
(See your notes for exceptions)
The change can be seen in all
forms except NOSOTROS and
VOSOTROS
These verbs are referred to as “boot” or “shoe”
verbs.

verbs and, therefore, will use
