a) Root-changing or Stem-changing verbs undergo a change in the stem or root of the verb in the present indicative. When last stem vowel of the verb is a stressed e, the stem vowel e changes to ie b) Since the stem vowel is not stressed in the first and second person plural forms, there is no stem change. That is, the e does not change to ie.
c) Notice that the verb changes occur only in the first, second and third persons singular and third person plural. To remember these changes when conjugating stem changing verbs, use the formula 1-2-3-6.
d) Since the subject is not expressed, the verb nevar is only conjugated in the third person singular.
