(Stem changing verbs)
SPANISH
Boot verbs have specific changes.
Only “nosotros” doesn’t have this change
I stay out of
the boot!
NOSOTROS
All boot verb conjugations that would be “in the boot” have a change before adding
the regular endings.
I feel regular & normal.
I don’t like all of these crazy changes, so I avoid
boots.
Please click on the form that would not have a
BOOT verb change.
Yo
NosotrosTú
Él
Ellos Ella
Nosotros
Some boot change verbs take an innocent little “e” and make it into an “ie.”
See what happens with the verb “pensar”
As usual, the “—ar” ending comes off.
Pensar
As usual, the “—ar” ending comes off.
Pens-
Now the “e” becomes “ie”.
Pens-
Now the “e” becomes “ie”.
Piens-
Now you just add the regular endings.
Piens-
For example: With “Yo” you add
the “-o”.
PiensoYo
What would you add with “Tú?”
Piens_Tú -as-a
-o
-nosotros-an
Remember the “-ar” endings?
Yo -o Nosotros -amos
Tú -as X
Él
Ella -a
Usted
Ellos
Ellas -an
Ustedes
¡Muy bien!
Tú Piensas
So now that you know about the “-e” to “-ie” boot verbs, click on
the form that would not make this change with these boot verbs:
Él (pensar)
Ella (comenzar)
Tú (cerrar)Nosotros (preferir)
Yo (querer)
Maybe you need to see this again. Hmmmm…
¡Excelente! Notice that the “nosotros” form kept its innocent
little “e,” but nobody else did?
Él piensa
Ellas comienzan
Tú cierrasNosotros preferimos
Yo quiero
You remembered that “nosotros” doesn’t have
the boot verb change.
I stay out of the boot!
NOSOTROS
So now you get the idea of the “e” to “ie” boot verbs.
There are some boot verbs that make a change from an “o” or a “u” into “ue.”
One that we have practiced is “jugar.”
It is a “u” to “ue” boot verb.
All you need to do now is get through a maze to give “jugar” its
“ue.”
Sounds simple, doesn’t it?All you have to do to finish the
practice it get to the “ue.”
Es muy fácil.
Ok, click the “jugar” button to play.
JUGAR
Oh, by the way: Don’t touch the walls of the maze.
You will have 10 seconds.
Suerte.

Ouch! You got the boot!
That must have hurt!
Try again.
¡Tú juegas muy bien!
You have completed your boot verb practice!
P.S.: I was just kidding about only having 10 seconds. If you did it that fast, give yourself a pat on the back. Gracias.
Now just write your name and date on a paper with a note
telling that you practiced boot verbs.
This will give you wonderful extra credit!
¡Chévere!
¡No hay más!
