Corregir and elegir are semi-regular verbs in Spanish in El Presente.
Have a look at this table:

|
él / ella / usted |
corrige | elige |
| nosotros / nosotras |

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-.
