There are semi-regular -er verbs in Spanish in El Presente. This table shows two common verbs that follow this pattern:
| VOLVER to come back |
MOVER to move |
|
| yo | vuelvo | muevo |
| tú | vuelves | mueves |
|
él / ella |
vuelve | mueve |
| nosotros nosotras |
volvemos | movemos |
| vosotros vosotras |
volvéis | movéis |
| ellos / ellas ustedes |
vuelven | mueven |
Notice how the first vowel -o- becomes -ue- EXCEPT for nosotros/nosotras and vosotros/vosotras where it remains -o-.
However their endings are the same as for all regular -er verbs in El Presente.
Listen to these examples:
