Forgetting the stem change

The verb 'morir' is irregular. Notice how the 'o' in the middle of the verb changes to 'ue' in the present tense (like 'muero'). This change happens for all forms except 'nosotros' and 'vosotros'.

Irregular Stem Change

Like in English, 'muero' can be used dramatically to exaggerate a feeling, not just to describe actual death.

The 'Dying' State

Mixing desire expressions

To express an intense feeling, use 'muero de' followed by the feeling (e.g., 'hambre' for hunger, 'frío' for cold, 'miedo' for fear).

Using 'Muero de...' (I die of...)
