Verbal Transformations: STEM-changing Verbs Quiz

The subject "Nosotros" never takes the stem change. In Spanish, some verbs undergo a stem change in certain conjugations, where the vowel in the stem of the verb changes. However, the subject "Nosotros" does not experience this stem change in any verb conjugation.

The stem change that the verb "Encontrar" takes is "o►ue". This means that in certain conjugations of the verb, the letter "o" in the stem changes to "ue". This change occurs in the present tense for the pronouns "yo", "tú", "él/ella/usted", and "ellos/ellas/ustedes". For example, "encuentro" (I find) and "encuentras" (you find) are conjugations that show this stem change.

The correct answer is "Empiezo" because when conjugating the verb "empezar" for the first person singular pronoun "yo" (meaning "I" in English), the ending "-o" is added to the stem "empiez-". Therefore, "Empiezo" is the correct conjugation.

The correct answer is "Recuerdas." In Spanish, when conjugating the verb "recordar" for the second person singular (tú), the correct form is "recuerdas." This form is used when referring to someone informally and is the correct conjugation for the subject pronoun "tú."

The correct answer is e►ie. The verb "comenzar" undergoes a stem change from "e" to "ie" in the present tense for all subject pronouns except for "nosotros" and "vosotros". This means that in the present tense, the stem of the verb changes when conjugated. For example, "yo comienzo" (I start), "tú comienzas" (you start), "él/ella comienza" (he/she starts), etc. This stem change is a characteristic of many Spanish verbs that end in -ar and have an "e" in the stem.

The verb "Poder" follows the o►ue pattern. This means that in certain conjugations, the letter "o" in the stem of the verb changes to "ue".

The correct answer is "Servimos" because when conjugating the verb "servir" for the pronoun "nosotros" (we), the correct form is "servimos".

The stem change that the verb "Pedir" undergoes is from "e" to "i". This means that in certain conjugations, the letter "e" in the stem of the verb changes to "i".

The verb "Perder" follows the e►ie pattern. This pattern means that in certain conjugations, the letter "e" in the stem of the verb changes to "ie". In the case of "Perder", this change occurs in the present tense conjugations for the pronouns "yo", "tú", "él/ella/usted", and "ellos/ellas/ustedes". For example, "yo pierdo" (I lose), "tú pierdes" (you lose), "él/ella/usted pierde" (he/she/you formal lose), and "ellos/ellas/ustedes pierden" (they/you all lose).

The verb "competir" follows the e►i pattern. This means that in certain forms of the verb, the letter "e" in the stem changes to "i." For example, in the present tense, the first and second person singular forms are "compito" and "compites," respectively. This pattern is common in Spanish verbs that have an "e" in the stem and end in -ir.
