Verbs
with Yo form ending
in -oy |
|
These
are irregular verbs because they pretty
much follow their own patterns in present
tense conjugation. |
There
is no set pattern for the following verbs:
each one "does its own thing." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
AR |
dar |

give |

geben |
|
estar |
|

ER |

IR |

|

Each
of these verbs must be dealt with as a special
case, as irregularities will exist throughout
all tenses. |

What
do they have in common now ? |
Using
the -oy
ending says I
am doing this action, and
it's going on NOW. |

The
YO is understood, because
of the ending, so the pronoun needn't
be used. |

you do add the YO, it usually
adds emphasis, saying I doooo
do this verb ... |
