Salir (to exit / to go out) is semi-regular in El Presente:
| yo | salgo |
| tú | sales |
| él / ella / Ud. | sale |
| nosotros / nosotras |
salimos |
| vosotros / vosotras |
salís |
| ellos / ellas / Uds. | salen |
Most of the endings are regular but note that the 'yo' form has a g. As with regular -ir verbs there is an accent on the í in the vosotros form.

Muy means "very", but it is missing from the English translation, it should say "You get out of work very late". We'll change it.
