Dormir
I think there's an error in the conjugation of dormir, but I could be wrong myself. In class, we learned about how certain -ir verbs stem change only in the third person form in the preterit [for dormir, o > u - durmió, durmieron]. however, when I checked the conjugation list the él, ella, Ud, Uds, ellos, and ellas form had no stem change...is there supposed to be? Am I wrong?

That's correct, Jessica. You're on the ball!
I moved this thread to the 'Suggestions' forum so that David will see it and make the correction. The imperfect subjunctive also needs changed, for all persons (in both forms). |

Also pres. subj. (durmamos, durmáis) and the imperative (durmamos, no durmáis).

We have used Dormimos, dormiamos, durmio.

Aunque nosotros durmamos pocas horas, por la mañana estamos despejados (pres. subj.) Aunque vosotros durmáis mucho, siempre estáis atontados. (pres. subj.). Durmamos, que mañana hay que madrugar (imper.) No os durmáis en los laureles. (imper.) Where do you say "dormimos, dormíamos, durmió" with imperative or pres. subj.? |

Dormimos and dormíamos is the 1st person plural, not the third one.

Really your Spanish is very different to the mine, because well just we don't use the word durmaís in our speech. But they literally are the same in the meaning, although they have a little to grammatic in the words.

Es curioso que cambie la raíz a pesar de no tener la sílaba enfatizada. Pero bueno, yo no soy el que defiende que el español sea lógico... ;P
