When conjugating verbs, some verbs change not only the ending but also the stem. There are 3 types of stem-change verbs: o--ue, e--ie, e--i
dormir = to sleep (it is an "-ir" verb, but also the "o" in the stem changes to "ue")
querer = to want (it is an "-er" verb, but also the "e" in the stem changes to "ie")
pedir = to ask for (it is an "-ir" verb, but also the "e" in the stem changes to "i")
Now you need to know 2 things when you conjugate these verbs:
1. endings (-ar, -er, -ir)
2. stem changes (o--ue, e--ie, e--i)
Let's try to conjugate verbs than change from e to i:
decir (to say; tell) *Remember, decir has an irregular yo conjugation - digo
repetir (to repeat), pedir (to ask for)
repetir = to repeat (-ir endings and e--i)
Yo repito (I repeat) Nosotros repetimos (we repeat) (no change "i" in nosotros)
Tu repites (you repeat)
usted repite (you repeat) ustedes repiten (you guys repeat)
el repite (he repeats) ellos repiten (they repeat)
ellarepite (she repeats)
Now it is your turn:
Conjugate "pedir= to ask for" (-ir endings and e--i)
Yo__________ Nosotros __________
Tu_________
usted___________ Ustedes ____________
