IRREGULAR VERBS

IRREGULAR VERBS
2
Remember how regular verbs are formed? You drop
the ar, -er, or ir and add the appropriate
ending.
3
The six verbs listed below are irregular.
That means they dont follow the rules youve
learned.

salir to leave poner to put traer to
bring hacer to do, make ver to see oír to hear
4
The first five are irregular only in the first
person singular. That means that they DONT
follow the rule for making the yo form of the
verb, but they DO follow the rules for all the
other persons.
salir poner traer hacer ver oír
5
Heres how you conjugate salir
salgo salimos sales salís sale
salen Notice that only the yo form fails to
follow the rule. In all the other persons, you
follow the rule that is, you drop off the ir
and add the regular endings -----
-imos -es -ís -e -en
6
Now lets do poner pongo ponemos
pones ponéis pone
ponen You can see that, like salir, it follows
the rules that is, except for the yo form,
You drop the er and add the regular er
endings ----- -emos -es
-éis -e -en
7
And now well add hacer hago hacemos
haces hacéis
hace hacen salir poner salgo
salimos pongo ponemos sales
salís pones ponéis sale salen

8
And now traer traigo traemos
traes traéis
trae traen salir
poner hacer
salgo salimos pongo ponemos
hago hacemos sales
salís pones ponéis haces
hacéis sale salen pone

pones ponéis sale
salen pone ponen
hacer traer
hago hacemos traigo traemos
haces hacéis traes
traéis hace hacen
trae traen
10
Now youre ready for oír. Unlike the other five
verbs, its irregular in four persons, not just
one. Youll have to memorize it
carefully. oigo oímos oyes oís oye
oyen As you can see, only
nosotros and vosotros are regular. The other
persons are irregular.
