Present Tense ConjugationQuestion 1 of 10

Which of the following sentences demonstrates correct present-tense usage of an irregular 'yo' form verb, where the irregularity is properly limited to the first-person singular and does NOT incorrectly extend to other forms?

'Yo salgo al mercado todos los días, y mis vecinos también salgen a la misma hora porque vivimos muy cerca.' — 'salgo' is the correct irregular yo form of 'salir,' and 'salgen' correctly extends the -g- irregularity to ellos
'Yo traigo los documentos a la reunión, pero mis colegas traen los suyos en formato digital.' — 'traigo' is the correct irregular yo form of 'traer,' and 'traen' is the regular ellos form without the -ig- irregularity
'Yo hago la tarea por las noches, y mi compañero de cuarto también hage la suya antes de dormir.' — 'hago' is the correct irregular yo form of 'hacer,' and 'hage' correctly adapts the irregular stem to the él form
'Yo pongo los platos en el fregadero, y mi hermana los ponge después de cenar para mantener la cocina ordenada.' — 'pongo' is the correct irregular yo form of 'poner,' and 'ponge' reflects the required stem extension to the ella form

Question 1

Which of the following sentences demonstrates correct present-tense usage of an irregular 'yo' form verb, where the irregularity is properly limited to the first-person singular and does NOT incorrectly extend to other forms?

  1. 'Yo salgo al mercado todos los días, y mis vecinos también salgen a la misma hora porque vivimos muy cerca.' — 'salgo' is the correct irregular yo form of 'salir,' and 'salgen' correctly extends the -g- irregularity to ellos
  2. 'Yo traigo los documentos a la reunión, pero mis colegas traen los suyos en formato digital.' — 'traigo' is the correct irregular yo form of 'traer,' and 'traen' is the regular ellos form without the -ig- irregularity (correct answer)
  3. 'Yo hago la tarea por las noches, y mi compañero de cuarto también hage la suya antes de dormir.' — 'hago' is the correct irregular yo form of 'hacer,' and 'hage' correctly adapts the irregular stem to the él form
  4. 'Yo pongo los platos en el fregadero, y mi hermana los ponge después de cenar para mantener la cocina ordenada.' — 'pongo' is the correct irregular yo form of 'poner,' and 'ponge' reflects the required stem extension to the ella form
Explanation: When studying irregular yo form verbs in Spanish, the key concept to master is that certain verbs have spelling or stem irregularities exclusively in the first-person singular (yo). All other present-tense forms follow regular conjugation patterns. This group — sometimes called "yo-go" verbs — includes salir, traer, hacer, poner, and others. Answer B is correct because it demonstrates this rule perfectly. Traigo is the legitimate irregular yo form of traer (the -ig- insertion is unique to first-person singular), and traen follows the completely regular ellos/ellas ending with no irregularity carried over. The sentence is grammatically accurate, and the explanation correctly identifies why each form works the way it does. Answer A fails because salgen is not a real Spanish word. The yo form salgo is correct, but the -g- irregularity does not extend to other persons. The correct ellos form is salen, not salgen. The explanation in A wrongly claims the irregularity should "extend." Answer C makes the same mistake with hacer. While hago is correct, hage does not exist. The correct él/ella form is hace, following regular -er verb patterns. The explanation falsely justifies inventing hage as a legitimate adaptation. Answer D repeats this error with poner. The yo form pongo is accurate, but ponge is fabricated. The correct ella form is pone, not a stem extension. The explanation incorrectly treats the irregularity as something that must carry forward. A useful study tip: whenever you see a "yo-go" verb, remind yourself — the -go ending lives only in yo. Every other form reverts to normal conjugation.

Question 2

Marco is writing a short paragraph for his Spanish class about his friend Daniela: 'Daniela es una persona muy activa. Ella   (poder) correr diez kilómetros sin descansar. Cuando nosotros   (jugar) al fútbol juntos, ella siempre   (volver) a casa antes que yo porque vive más cerca.'

Which option correctly fills all three blanks with properly conjugated present-tense forms of the stem-changing verbs 'poder,' 'jugar,' and 'volver'?

  1. pueda / jugamos / vuelva — 'poder' and 'volver' require the subjunctive-like diphthong '-a' ending in third-person singular when describing habitual ability, while nosotros 'jugar' is regular
  2. puede / juguamos / vuelve — 'poder' changes in ella, 'jugar' requires 'gu' spelling in nosotros to preserve the hard 'g' before the '-amos' ending, and 'volver' changes in ella
  3. puede / jugamos / vuelve — 'poder' (o→ue) changes in ella, 'jugar' (u→ue) does NOT change in nosotros (outside the boot), and 'volver' (o→ue) changes in ella (correct answer)
  4. puede / juegamos / vuelve — 'poder' changes in ella, 'jugar' (u→ue) applies the stem change in nosotros because it is a boot verb that changes in all present-tense forms, and 'volver' changes in ella
Explanation: When you see present-tense conjugations of stem-changing verbs in Spanish, your first move should be identifying which verbs change, how they change, and which persons are affected. This question tests all three at once. The key concept is the boot (shoe) verb pattern: stem-changing verbs in the present tense only change in the forms inside the "boot" — yo, tú, él/ella, and ellos/ellas. The nosotros and vosotros forms never take the stem change. With that framework, option C is correct: puede (ella, o→ue), jugamos (nosotros, NO change), vuelve (ella, o→ue). Each verb behaves exactly as the boot pattern predicts. Option A is wrong because pueda and vuelva are subjunctive forms, not present indicative. There's no grammatical trigger for the subjunctive here — Marco is simply describing habitual facts about Daniela. Option B fails because juguamos is not a real Spanish form. Adding gu before -amos is a spelling rule applied only when the stem ends in g before an e (like in the yo form: yo juego — wait, that's actually the stem change). The nosotros form is simply jugamos — no spelling adjustment needed because the g before a already produces the hard sound naturally. Option D incorrectly claims the boot verb changes in all present-tense forms, including nosotros. This directly contradicts the boot pattern — nosotros is explicitly outside the boot and never stem-changes. Study tip: Draw an actual boot shape and write the six pronoun forms around it — the four inside the boot change, the two outside (nosotros, vosotros) don't. This visual makes the pattern stick quickly.

Question 3

Read the following exchange between two students practicing Spanish: Student A: 'Oye, ¿tú   (traducir) bien los textos literarios al inglés?' Student B: 'Sí, yo los   (traducir) bastante bien, pero mi amiga los   (traducir) mucho mejor que yo.'

Which option correctly fills all three blanks with the appropriate present-tense forms of 'traducir,' accounting for all relevant irregularities?

  1. traduces / traduco / traduce — 'traducir' is a regular -ir verb in all forms except where the 'c' softens before front vowels, so the yo form drops the 'z' and simply uses 'traduco'
  2. traduzces / traduzco / traduzce — the -zc- irregularity in 'traducir' extends to all persons in the present tense, not just the yo form, following the pattern of other -zc- verbs
  3. traduces / traduzco / traduce — the tú form is regular, the yo form has the -zc- irregularity characteristic of -ducir verbs, and the ella form is fully regular (correct answer)
  4. traduces / traduzco / traduzce — the tú form is regular, the yo form correctly has -zc-, and the ella form also requires -zc- because 'traducir' is irregular throughout the singular forms of the present tense
Explanation: When you encounter a verb like traducir in Spanish, your first instinct should be to identify its verb class. Verbs ending in -ducir (traducir, conducir, producir) follow a specific pattern: they are regular in most present-tense forms, but carry a -zc- irregularity exclusively in the yo form. Here's how traducir conjugates in the present tense: traduzco, traduces, traduce, traducimos, traducís, traducen. Notice that only the first-person singular changes — the "c" becomes "zc" before the "o" ending. Every other form conjugates exactly like a regular -ir verb. So in the passage, the tú blank takes traduces (regular), the yo blank takes traduzco (the -zc- irregularity), and the ella blank takes traduce (regular again). That makes C the correct answer. A is tempting because it correctly identifies traduces and traduce, but it wrongly claims the yo form is simply traduco — dropping the "z" entirely. This doesn't reflect the actual -zc- pattern; the correct yo form is traduzco, not traduco. B spreads the -zc- irregularity across all three forms (traduzces, traduzco, traduzce), which is a classic overgeneralization trap. The irregularity only applies to yo — full stop. D gets traduces and traduzco right but incorrectly gives traduzce for the ella form, making the same mistake as B by misapplying the -zc- rule beyond the yo form. A quick study tip: memorize that -ducir verbs are only irregular in yo (-zco). If you remember conduzco, produzco, traduzco, you've mastered the pattern for the entire verb family.

Question 4

A student is completing a fill-in-the-blank exercise. The instructions say to conjugate the verb in parentheses in the present tense. The sentence reads: 'Ella siempre   (conseguir) entradas para los conciertos con mucha anticipación.'

Which form correctly fills the blank, and which of the following explanations most accurately justifies that choice?

  1. 'consegue' — 'conseguir' follows a regular -ir conjugation pattern for ella, taking the standard ending '-e' without any stem change because stem changes only affect -ar and -er verbs, not -ir verbs
  2. 'consegüe' — 'conseguir' requires a diaeresis over the 'u' in all conjugated forms to indicate that the 'u' is pronounced, following the same pattern as words like 'lingüística'
  3. 'consige' — 'conseguir' is an e→i stem-changer, so the stem vowel shifts to 'i,' and the 'gu' spelling is simplified to just 'g' before any vowel ending in all conjugated forms regardless of the vowel that follows
  4. 'consigue' — 'conseguir' is an e→i stem-changer, so the stem vowel shifts from 'e' to 'i' in the ella form, and the spelling change (dropping the 'u' from 'gu') is not needed because the vowel ending '-e' already preserves the hard 'g' sound (correct answer)
Explanation: When you encounter a verb like conseguir on a fill-in-the-blank exercise, you need to think about two separate issues at once: stem changes and spelling conventions. Conseguir is an e→i stem-changing verb, meaning the stem vowel 'e' shifts to 'i' in most present tense forms, including ella. Beyond the stem change, conseguir contains the letter combination 'gu,' which exists specifically to produce a hard 'g' sound before 'e' or 'i' — because a plain 'g' before those vowels would be pronounced like the Spanish 'j.' Here's the key insight: since the ella ending is already '-e,' the 'gu' spelling must be kept to preserve that hard 'g' sound. The stem changes from conseg- to consig-, and retaining 'gu' gives you consigue — the correct answer D. Choice A is wrong on two counts: it claims -ir verbs never have stem changes (they do — many are e→i changers), and "consegue" neither applies the stem change nor preserves the hard 'g' correctly. Choice B invents a rule about diacritical marks — a diaeresis (ü) is only used in Spanish in the combinations güe and güi when the 'u' should be pronounced, which is a completely different situation from conseguir. Choice C correctly identifies the e→i stem change but then incorrectly claims 'gu' simplifies to 'g' before all vowels — this would only apply before 'a' or 'o,' not before 'e.' A useful study tip: whenever you conjugate a 'gu' verb, ask yourself what vowel follows — if it's 'e' or 'i,' keep the 'gu' to protect the hard 'g' sound.

Question 5

A student wants to say 'I know Professor Ramírez, and I know that she knows a lot about linguistics' using both 'saber' and 'conocer' appropriately. Which sentence correctly uses both verbs in the present tense with accurate conjugation AND appropriate semantic distinction?

  1. 'Yo sé a la profesora Ramírez, y sé que ella conoce mucho sobre la lingüística.' — 'sé' is the irregular yo form of 'saber,' used correctly for both clauses, and 'conoce' is the ella form of 'conocer' used for factual knowledge
  2. 'Yo conozco a la profesora Ramírez, y sé que ella sabe mucho sobre la lingüística.' — 'conozco' is the irregular yo form of 'conocer' used for personal acquaintance, and 'sabe' is the regular ella form of 'saber' used for knowledge of a subject (correct answer)
  3. 'Yo sabo a la profesora Ramírez, y conozco que ella sabe mucho sobre la lingüística.' — 'sabo' is the yo form of 'saber' used for knowing people, and 'conozco' is the yo form of 'conocer' used correctly in the subordinate clause
  4. 'Yo conozco a la profesora Ramírez, y conozco que ella conoce mucho sobre la lingüística.' — 'conozco' is used correctly in both clauses since 'conocer' covers all types of knowing in Spanish, and both ella forms 'conoce' are appropriately applied
Explanation: When you see a question involving both saber and conocer, the core distinction to remember is this: conocer expresses familiarity or personal acquaintance with people, places, and things, while saber expresses knowing facts, information, or how to do something. Getting the conjugations right matters just as much as choosing the correct verb. Answer B is correct because it applies both verbs with precision. "Conozco" (the irregular yo form of conocer) correctly signals personal acquaintance with Professor Ramírez — you know her as a person. Then "sé" (the irregular yo form of saber) introduces a factual clause ("that she knows a lot"), and "sabe" (the regular ella form of saber) correctly conveys subject-matter expertise. Every conjugation and every usage is accurate. Answer A fails on two fronts: "sé a la profesora Ramírez" misuses saber for personal acquaintance — that's conocer's job. It also incorrectly labels "conoce" as expressing factual knowledge, which is saber's role. Answer C contains a fabricated conjugation: "sabo" does not exist in Spanish. The yo form of saber is always the irregular "sé." Additionally, conocer cannot introduce a subordinate fact-clause the way saber can. Answer D uses conocer for everything, incorrectly claiming it covers all types of knowing. It doesn't — "conozco que ella conoce mucho" is ungrammatical because conocer cannot introduce a que-clause expressing factual knowledge. Your study tip: memorize the irregular yo forms — sé (saber) and conozco (conocer) — and pair them with their meanings: saber = facts/skills, conocer = familiarity/acquaintance.

Question 6

Elena está hablando con su amiga sobre sus rutinas diarias. Ella dice: 'Mis hermanos y yo   (seguir) una dieta muy estricta porque   (querer) mantenernos en forma para el equipo de fútbol.'

Which option correctly fills both blanks in Elena's statement, applying the appropriate present-tense stem-changing conjugations?

  1. seguimos / queremos — both verbs follow regular -ir and -er endings without any stem change in the nosotros form (correct answer)
  2. seguemos / queremos — 'seguir' requires inserting an 'e' before the ending in the nosotros form to preserve the hard 'g' sound
  3. seguimos / querimos — 'querer' is an e→ie stem-changer, so the stem vowel shifts in all forms including nosotros
  4. sigüimos / queremos — 'seguir' has a u inserted in its spelling in all conjugated forms to maintain the hard 'g' sound throughout
Explanation: When tackling present-tense conjugations in Spanish, one of the most important concepts to master is the nosotros exception for stem-changing verbs: unlike other forms, nosotros and vosotros do not undergo stem changes in the present tense. This question tests whether you know that rule and can apply it to two common verbs. For seguir (e→i stem-changer) and querer (e→ie stem-changer), the nosotros forms are seguimos and queremos, respectively — both keep their original stems intact. The sentence translates to: "My brothers and I follow a very strict diet because we want to stay in shape for the soccer team." Answer A is correct because it correctly applies regular nosotros endings to both verbs without any stem change. Here's why the other options miss the mark: B proposes seguemos, which attempts to "protect" the hard /g/ sound by adding an e, but this is unnecessary — the existing spelling seguimos already preserves that sound naturally with the u already in the infinitive stem. C suggests querimos, incorrectly applying the e→ie stem change to the nosotros form of querer. Remember, stem changes never happen in nosotros — so queremos, not querimos, is always correct. D offers sigüimos, confusing the spelling convention for verbs like seguir (where ü appears only in forms like sigo) — the nosotros form simply doesn't need that adjustment. A handy memory trick: picture the verb conjugation chart as a "boot" or "shoe" — stem changes only occur inside the boot's outline, and nosotros/vosotros always sit outside it, unchanged.

Question 7

A student writes the following sentence: 'Yo me visto rápidamente, pero mi hermana se vestimos juntas los domingos.' A classmate says the sentence contains exactly one conjugation error. Which verb is incorrectly conjugated, and what is the correct form?

  1. 'visto' is the error; the correct form is 'veste' because 'vestirse' is a regular -ir reflexive verb and the yo form follows the standard -ir pattern without irregularity
  2. 'vestimos' is the error; the correct form is 'viste' because 'vestirse' is an e→i stem-changer, and the ella form requires the stem change plus the third-person singular ending (correct answer)
  3. 'visto' is the error; the correct form is 'viste' because both the yo and ella forms of 'vestirse' should look identical as e→i stem-changers in the present tense
  4. 'vestimos' is the error; the correct form is 'vestemos' because the stem-change only applies to boot forms, and ella is outside the boot, requiring the unchanged stem with a standard ending
Explanation: When you see a reflexive verb like vestirse in a sentence, your first instinct should be to check two things: (1) is the reflexive pronoun correct for the subject, and (2) is the verb itself properly conjugated — including any stem change. Vestirse is an e→i stem-changing verb, meaning the stem vowel changes in all "boot" forms (yo, tú, él/ella, ellos/ellas) but stays unchanged in nosotros and vosotros. In the present tense: me visto, te vistes, se viste, nos vestimos, os vestís, se visten. Notice that yo → visto is actually correct because the stem changes from vest- to vist-. The problem in the original sentence is "mi hermana se vestimos" — the subject is ella (third-person singular), but vestimos is the nosotros form. The correct conjugation is se viste, applying the e→i stem change with the third-person singular ending. Choice B is correct for exactly this reason. Choice A is wrong because visto is perfectly correct — vestirse is indeed irregular (stem-changing), so the yo form is visto, not veste. Choice C is wrong on two counts: visto is not an error, and the claim that yo and ella forms look identical is false (visto vs. viste are different). Choice D is wrong because it claims ella is "outside the boot," which is incorrect — ella absolutely falls inside the boot and requires the stem change, so vestemos would be doubly wrong. A useful study tip: always sketch the boot diagram mentally before conjugating stem-changers. If the subject (yo, tú, él, ella, ellos, ellas) falls inside the boot, apply the change — no exceptions.

Question 8

Which sentence contains a correctly conjugated present-tense verb in context, where the subject, verb form, and meaning are all mutually consistent?

  1. 'Los estudiantes no caben en el salón pequeño porque hay demasiadas personas inscritas en la clase.' — 'caben' is the ellos form of 'caber,' an irregular verb whose yo form is 'quepo' but whose ellos form follows regular -er endings (correct answer)
  2. 'Mi abuelo siempre se sabo las respuestas antes de que yo termine de preguntar.' — 'sabo' is the yo form of 'saber,' which is irregular in the first person singular in the present tense
  3. 'Nosotros ponemos los libros en la mesa y luego nos vayamos a la cafetería.' — 'vayamos' is the nosotros present-tense indicative form of 'irse,' an irregular verb whose present forms include 'vayamos' for first-person plural
  4. 'Tú quepes mucha ropa en esa maleta pequeña; siempre sabes cómo organizar todo perfectamente.' — 'quepes' is the tú form of 'caber,' which shares the irregular 'qu-' stem of the yo form 'quepo' throughout the present-tense paradigm
Explanation: When dealing with irregular verbs in the Spanish present tense, you need to verify three things simultaneously: that the verb form itself is correctly built, that it matches its stated subject, and that the overall sentence makes logical sense. Choice A gets all three right. Caber (to fit) is indeed irregular — its yo form is quepo — but the irregularity is confined to the first person singular. The ellos/ellas form simply follows regular -er endings: cab-en. So caben is correctly formed, correctly matched to los estudiantes, and the sentence ("The students don't fit in the small classroom because too many people are enrolled") is perfectly logical. This is your correct answer. Choice B invents a nonexistent form. The yo form of saber is sé, not sabo. Saber is irregular precisely because it doesn't follow the predictable -o ending pattern in the first person — "sabo" would be a regularized guess, not a real conjugation. Choice C mixes moods illegally. Ponemos is correctly formed present indicative, but vayamos is present subjunctive (or a volitional "let's go" construction). In a simple declarative sentence describing a sequence of actions, you need indicative throughout — the correct form would be nos vamos. Choice D applies a false rule. The irregular qu- stem in caber appears only in the yo form (quepo). It does not spread to tú or any other person — the tú form is simply cabes, not quepes. Your study tip: when a question claims an irregular stem extends "throughout the paradigm," be skeptical — most Spanish present-tense irregularities are limited to the yo form only.

Question 9

Read the following paragraph and identify the error: 'Cuando mi familia y yo salimos de viaje, mi padre siempre conduce el carro. Él dice que conduzco mejor que nadie. Mi madre y mis hermanos duermen en el carro, pero yo nunca puedo dormir porque me emociono mucho con el paisaje. A veces yo también conduzco un rato cuando mi padre se cansa.'

A Spanish instructor claims there is one subtle present-tense error in the paragraph above. Which verb usage is incorrect, and why?

  1. 'conduzco' (referring to the father) is incorrect because 'conducir' is an irregular verb whose yo form is 'conduzco,' but the sentence attributes this form to the father (él), not to the narrator, making it a person agreement error (correct answer)
  2. 'duermen' is incorrect because 'dormir' is an o→ue stem-changer, and the ellos form should be 'duormen' to reflect the full diphthong expansion that occurs in all boot forms
  3. 'emociono' is incorrect because reflexive verbs like 'emocionarse' require the subjunctive in subordinate clauses following 'porque,' so 'me emocione' would be the correct present form here
  4. There is no error in the paragraph; all present-tense conjugations — including 'conduzco,' 'duermen,' 'puedo,' and 'emociono' — are correctly formed and properly attributed to their respective subjects throughout
Explanation: When reading Spanish paragraphs for verb errors, train yourself to track two things simultaneously: whether the conjugation form is correct and whether that form matches the actual subject performing the action. These are two separate checks, and confusing them is exactly the trap this question sets. The error appears in the sentence "Él dice que conduzco mejor que nadie." The father (él) is speaking, and he's saying that the narrator drives better than anyone — meaning "conduzco" (yo form) correctly refers to the narrator, not the father. Wait — that means "conduzco" is attributed to the right person after all, right? Look again: the father is quoting an opinion about the narrator's driving, so the yo-form is entirely appropriate in that embedded clause. So is there truly an error? Re-read carefully — the father says the narrator drives better than anyone, yet at the end, the narrator also drives when the father gets tired. The paragraph is internally consistent. Answer D is actually correct — all conjugations are properly formed and properly attributed. Answer A is a trap that sounds plausible because "conduzco" looks mismatched with "Él dice," but it's indirect speech: the father is praising you, so the yo-form is correct. Answer B fabricates a non-existent rule — "duormen" is not a real form; the correct ellos stem-change gives "duermen," which the paragraph already uses correctly. Answer C is completely fabricated — "porque" does not trigger the subjunctive; it introduces a factual cause-and-effect clause requiring the indicative. Study tip: When a question asks you to find an error, verify each answer's grammatical rule first — if the rule itself is invented (like "duormen" or subjunctive after "porque"), eliminate it immediately regardless of how confident it sounds.

Question 10

In which sentence is the present-tense conjugation of 'oír' used correctly in context, with all irregularities properly applied?

  1. 'Yo oigo perfectamente bien, y mis hermanos también oigen todo lo que se dice en voz baja durante la clase.' — 'oigo' is the irregular yo form of 'oír,' and 'oigen' correctly applies the same -ig- irregularity to the ellos form for consistency
  2. 'Tú oyes las instrucciones claramente, pero yo oo las mismas instrucciones con mucha dificultad desde el fondo del salón.' — 'oyes' has the y-spelling change for tú, and 'oo' is the irregular yo form of 'oír' formed by doubling the stem vowel
  3. 'Él oe las noticias en la radio cada mañana sin falta antes de salir al trabajo.' — 'oe' is the correct él form of 'oír,' maintaining the stem vowel and adding only the third-person singular ending without further modification
  4. 'Nosotros oímos la música desde el patio, pero nuestros vecinos no oyen nada porque tienen las ventanas cerradas.' — 'oímos' is a regular nosotros form with an accent mark, and 'oyen' correctly uses the y-spelling irregularity in the ellos form (correct answer)
Explanation: When conjugating oír (to hear) in the present tense, you need to track two separate irregularities: a spelling change involving y in certain forms, and a unique yo form. The full conjugation is: oigo, oyes, oye, oímos, oís, oyen. Notice that most forms insert a y between the stem vowels, the yo form uses -ig-, and nosotros/vosotros behave more regularly (with an accent mark on oímos). D is correct because both verbs are handled properly. Oímos is the legitimate nosotros form — regular in structure but written with an accent mark to show the stressed í. Oyen correctly applies the y-spelling irregularity to the ellos/they form, exactly as the conjugation table requires. Both context and form are accurate. A traps you with false consistency logic. While oigo is genuinely the correct yo form, oigen does not exist — the -ig- irregularity is exclusive to the yo form. The ellos form is oyen, not oigen. Don't assume one irregular pattern spreads across all persons. B invents oo as the yo form, which is completely fabricated. The yo form is oigo, not a doubled vowel. This distractor confuses students who might guess based on the stem vowel alone. C presents oe as the él form, another invented conjugation. The correct él form is oye, with the characteristic y inserted between the stem vowels. Study tip: Memorize oír by reciting the full conjugation aloud — oigo, oyes, oye, oímos, oís, oyen — and remember the -ig- belongs only to yo.
