GO VERBS Remember that ALL Spanish verbs end in either ar / er/ ir  GO VERBS There is a small but very important group of verbs that we call the “-go” verbs. These verbs are: -go Verbs Conocer: to know (people) Hacer: to make/do Poner: to put Saber: to know (information) Salir: to leave Tener: to have Traer: to bring Venir: to come Why are these grouped together?? Good question! We have looked at the verb tener. Do you remember why the yo form was special? YO TENGO Correcto! yo tengo: the yo form ends in –go. So what do you think the yo form of venir is? On the “go” yo vengo How about the yo forms for: Salir ? Poner ? “Go” for it! yo salgo yo pongo Wait! There’s more! There are a few quirks: hacer > yo hago traer > yo traigo conocer > yo conozco What about “saber”? Good question! It’s very irregular: saber > yo sé Notice the accent on sé Let’s look at those “yo” forms again… Conocer: yo conozco Hacer: yo hago Poner: yo pongo Saber: yo sé Salir: yo salgo Tener: yo tengo Traer: yo traigo Venir: yo vengo What about those other forms?? They are regular!! For example: hacer yo hago tú haces él hace nosotros hacemos ellos hacen Venir VENIR changes its stem, just like TENER: yo vengo tú vienes él,ella Ud. viene nosotros venimos ellos, ellas, Uds. vienen Let’s take a look! > saber yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______ Saber yo sé tú sabes él sabe nosotros sabemos ellos saben Saber is included in this group because only the “yo” form is irregular in the present. Here’s a second helping! > conocer yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______ Conocer yo conozco tú conoces él conoce nosotros conocemos ellos conocen One more for the road… > salir yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______ salir yo salgo tú sales él sale nosotros salimos ellos salen  The –go verbs have an irregular yo form: conozco, hago, pongo, salgo, sé, tengo, In conclusion… traigo vengo The other forms are regular according to their conjugations. For example: traer = traigo, traes, trae, traemos, traen Tener & venir are stem-changing verbs and also change in the tú, él, and ellos forms: tienes, tiene, tienen; …vienes, viene, vienen Let’s look at those “yo” forms again… Conocer: yo conozco Hacer: yo hago Poner: yo pongo Saber: yo sé Salir: yo salgo Tener: yo tengo Traer: yo traigo Venir: yo vengo
