Notice contar isn’t in this list?
Hi there, I notice contar wasn’t in this list? Or is it always the case that an -ar- verb ending in “ontar” will change its stem?
Hola Francis,
I just added the verb "contar" to this list as a o > ue verb in the present. Bear in mind though that not all verbs with an -o in their stem undergo this vowel change. For example, verbs like "montar" = to ride or "borrar" = to delete are completely regular verbs.
Saludos,
Inma

Do we have a list of ir er verbs with the consonant o in the stem which do not change?
Hola Dennis
I'm afraid not. We tend to make lists of verbs that undergo some sort of irregularity.
To name some of those verbs that have an -o in the stem and don't change to -ue, you have for example:
Cortar - to cut
Notar - to realise
Frotar - to scrub
Votar - to vote
Engordar - to get fat
Coser - to sew
Comer - to eat
Coger - to take
Poner - to put
Saludos
