the preterite.
 The –ir stem-changing verbs in the present however, do
have a stem change.
 Study the charts in the next slide and observe where the
stem changes occur. These verbs are sometimes
referred to as Slipper Verbs (preterite), as opposed to
Boot Verbs (present). They take regular –ir preterite
endings.
