Hay un grupo de verbos irregulares ER / IR Just like the AR verbs with an irregular YO form, these verbs are regular in some of the forms, have a spelling change in other forms, but still use the same regular ER /IR endings.

There are only a few of these verbs and they all have something in common: leer

í

creer

iste

oír

ió

caer

imos ieron

Because there are 2 vowels in a row in the infinitive, the 3rd person conjugation will give us 3 contiguous vowels.

Spanish doesn’t accept that, at least not in the preterit.

So….. when there are 3 vowels in a row [the él form and the ellosform] the I in the él ending [ió] and in the ellos ending [ieron] beomes a Y

Por ejemplo leer: leí leiste leió? NO, leyó leimos leieron? NO, leyeron

Miramos en el libro, p. 157 Aquí hay verbos AR regulares e irregulares y verbos ER IR regulares e irregulares.
