Stem-Changing Verbs

Notice how o changes to ue in almorzar and poder. That’s because they’re both o-to-ue verbs. Like other stem-changing verbs, the o doesn’t change when used with nosotros.

almorzar
to have lunch
poder
to be able to
almuerzo puedo
almuerzas puedes
almuerza puede
almorzamos podemos
almuerzan pueden

Another set of stem-changing verbs changes from e to ie. But remember to keep an eye on nosotros!
