    TBSA #3 - Spanish Irregular Verbs, The "Black Sheep" in the Family 😵‍💫

    The “black sheep” of the family of verbs: irregular. Why do they act like the wacky cousin in your family. Let’s find out in this episode ⬇️ What makes a verb irregular? 🤔 Irregular verbs do not follow the standard conjugation patterns of regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs. Their stems or endings change in unpredictable ways, so they must be learned individually or by pattern groups. Most -ar verbs are regular (around 80%). Most irregular verbs appear in the -er and -ir categories. Types of irregular verbs in the present tense ⬇️ 👉 Stem changing verbs These verbs change the vowel in the stem when conjugated (except in nosotros). Examples: • o → ue (dormir → duermo, duermes, duerme…) • e → ie (pensar → pienso, piensas, piensa…) • e → i (pedir → pido, pides, pide…) Key idea: The stem changes in all forms except nosotros. 👉 Verbs irregular only in the “yo” form These verbs have a unique first person singular form, but the rest of the conjugation is regular. Examples: • saber → sé • dar → doy • poner → pongo • salir → salgo Key idea: Only the yo form is irregular; all other forms follow regular patterns. 👉 Mixed irregular verbs (yo irregular + stem change) These verbs combine both irregularities: • irregular in the yo form • stem change in the other forms Example: • tener → tengo, tienes, tiene, tienen • venir → vengo, vienes, viene, vienen Key idea: Two irregularities in one verb. 👉 Completely irregular verbs These verbs do not follow any predictable pattern. Each form must be memorized. Examples: • ser → soy, eres, es, somos, son • ir → voy, vas, va, vamos, van • estar → estoy, estás, está, estamos, están Key idea: No pattern. Learn each form individually. 📚 How to study irregular verbs ✅ Create short, meaningful sentences using each verb. ✅ Practice aloud to internalize the sound and rhythm. ✅ Review them frequently, as irregular verbs appear constantly in everyday Spanish. ✅ Read simple texts in the present tense to see irregular verbs in context.
