2. Stem changing verb explanation. Stem changing verbs are often called "Boot verbs" because the conjugated forms that have a change are in the shape of a boot. There is no way to tell if a verb is a stem changer just from looking at it; you have to memorize these. One we have been using is "preferir - to prefer" It is an e to ie stem changer, which means that the "e" in the stem ( the last one before the verb ending -ir) changes to "ie" in the boot forms. See below for an example using the verb "querer - to want."
3. We practiced conjugating many e to ie stemchanging verbs.
4. We also discussed "tener - to want." I call it an "ankle boot verb" because it has an irregular "yo" form (tengo), and then it has the stem change in all the other boot forms.
