Corregir and elegir are semi-regular verbs in Spanish in El Presente.
Have a look at this table:
| CORREGIR to correct |
ELEGIR to choose |
|
| yo | corrijo | elijo |
| tú | corriges | eliges |
|
él / ella / usted |
corrige | elige |
| nosotros / nosotras |
corregimos | elegimos |
| vosotros / vosotras |
corregís | elegís |
| ellos / ellas / ustedes | corrigen | eligen |
Notice:
- the first vowel -e- becomes -i- EXCEPT for nosotros/nosotras and vosotros/vosotras where it remains -e-.
- that in the yo form -g- is replaced with a -j-.
