2 -go Verbs There is a small but very important group of verbs that we call the “-go” verbs. These verbs are: 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

3 Why are these grouped together?? Good question! We just looked at the verb tener. Do you remember why the yo form was special?

4 Correcto! yo tengo: the yo form ends in –go. So what do you think the yo form of venir is?

5 On the “go” yo vengo How about the yo forms for: Salir Poner

6 “Go” for it! yo salgo yo pongo

7 Wait! There’s more! There are a few quirks: hacer > yo hago traer > yo traigo conocer > yo conozco

8 What about “saber”? Good question! It’s very irregular: saber > yo sé Notice the accent on sé

9 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

10 What about those other forms?? They are regular !! For example: hacer yo hago tú haces él hace nosotros hacemos ellos hacen

11 Venir VENIR changes its stem, just like TENER: yo vengo tú vienes él,ella Ud. viene nosotros venimos ellos, ellas, Uds. vienen

12 Let’s take a look! > saber yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______

13 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.

14 Here’s a second helping! > conocer yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______

15 Conocer yo conozco tú conoces él conoce nosotros conocemos ellos conocen

16 One more for the road… > salir yo ______ tú ______ él ______ nosotros ______ ellos ______

17 salir yo salgo tú sales él sale nosotros salimos ellos salen

18 How about if we mix up the forms? Yo _______ (conocer) a mucha gente de Nicaragua, pero mi hermano ________ (conocer) a más personas de Honduras.

19 Conocer Yo conozco a mucha gente de Nicaragua, pero mi hermano conoce a más personas de Honduras.

20 In conclusion… The – go verbs have an irregular yo form: conozco, hago, pongo, salgo, sé, tengo, traigo vengo The other forms are regular according to their conjugations. For example, trai go, 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
