Three more irregulars
Three more verbs you'll need every day:
| Pronoun | Poder (can, may) | Saber (to know) | Decir (to say, to tell) |
|---|---|---|---|
| yo | puedo | sé | digo |
| tú | puedes | sabes | dices |
| él / ella / usted | puede | sabe | dice |
| nosotros | podemos | sabemos | decimos |
| vosotros | podéis | sabéis | decís |
| ellos / ellas / ustedes | pueden | saben | dicen |
- Poder changes o to ue — in every form except nosotros and vosotros, just like querer with its ie.
- Saber only has one odd form: sé, with an accent that tells it apart from the little word se.
- Decir starts with digo, then changes e to i: dices, dice, dicen.
Like querer, poder and saber are followed by a plain infinitive: Puedo ir. — I can go.
