-”GO” verbs
There are some verbs that are irregular in the YO

[like TENER – yo tengo]
These verbs have the same type of stem change:
HACER – to make / to do
PONER – to put / to place
SALIR – to leave
TRAER – to bring
These verbs have a stem change only in the YO form:
HACER
PONER
hago
hacemos
pongo
ponemos
haces
hacéis
pones
poneis
hace
hacen
pone
ponen
SALIR
TRAER
salgo
salimos
**traigo
traemos
sales
salís
traes
traéis
sale
salen
trae
traen
**Note that the YO form of TRAER adds an ‘i’ along
with the ‘g’ to the stem!
HACER and PONER are used in idiomatic
expressions [does not translate directly from
one language to another] :
hacer un viaje
to make [to take] a
trip
hacer la maleta
to pack the suitcase
poner la mesa
to set the table
There is one other common verb similar to these.

with a ‘g’ added to the YO form and an e>ie
stem change in the “shoe”
