SER

HABER

ESTAR

SABER

 

 

 

These are the 6 verbs that don’t end in an -o in the present yo form.  So if you were going along and applying your “drop the -o” rule to all the verbs you know how to conjugate, you’d run into a problem with these 6.  Here are the forms:

 

Dar Ir Ser Haber Estar Saber

Subjunctive

tú/vos des vayas seas hayas estés sepas
él/usted dé vaya sea haya esté sepa
nosotros demos vayamos seamos hayamos estemos sepamos
