Some verbs in Spanish do not follow the model of regular verbs in some tenses. These verbs change the vowel of their stem in the present tense and the present subjunctive. This is not as complicated as it might sound. All it means is that you have to change a single vowel into two vowels in the way shown below.
The o in certain verbs changes to ue:
| Infinitive | Stem | Meaning |
| Encontrar ? | encuentr | To Find |
| Poder ? | Pued | To be able |
