Morphing verbs
In the
preterite
tense, there are a group of irregular verbs that are referred to as morphing verbs.
Morphing verbs are verbs that completely change their stem. There are 3 groups of morphing verbs:
u
- stems
i
- stems
j
- stems
Because morphing verbs are irregular, none of the conjugated forms have written accents.
All morphing verbs, no matter what kind of stem they have, use the same endings. Slide3
