¹ The final ''-e'' in the 3S present of ''-er'' and ''-ir'' verbs is dropped after certain consonants.

² When ''-i-'' is a glide, it is dropped after palatal consonants and it merges with preceding ''-w-'' to form ''-y-''.
² When an ending begins in a rising diphthong (''-i-'' + vowel), ''-i-'' is dropped after palatal consonants and merges with a preceding ''-w-'' to form ''-y-''.


³ The future may have an irregular stem before ''-r-'' formed by contraction. The conditional always has the same stem as the future.
'''Irregular verbs'''
#The preterite may have an irregular stem, in which case the endings are as below (with a few exceptions):

The pluperfect stem is always formed by removing ''-s'' from the 2S preterite and adding the endings in ''-ra, -res'', etc.

*Stem-changing verbs have predictable sound changes when the stem is stressed. Common varieties include:
⁴ Second person polite forms always take third person verb conjugations.
**''-o-'' > ''-ue-''
**''-e-'' > ''-ie-''
**''-ch-'' > ''-it-''
*Regular verbs whose stems end in ''-c-, -g-, -qu-, -gu-, -qü-, -gü-, -ch-'' have spelling changes in order to maintain the same pronunciation in front of front and back vowels, as per the table below.

:Note that many verbs ending in ''-cer, -cir'' irregularly maintain their spelling in the 1S present indicative with the corresponding pronunciation change.
====='''Simple tenses (subjunctive)'''=====
*Many verbs have an irregular 1S present indicative form. When this occurs, this irregular stem is also used to form the present subjunctive
