Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'consigues' used formally or informally?
'Consigues' is the 'tú' form, which is used for informal conversations with friends, family, or people your age. If you need a formal equivalent, you would use 'consigue' (the Usted form).
Why does 'conseguir' change from 'e' to 'i'?
This is a common irregularity in Spanish 'ir' verbs. The 'e' in the middle of the verb stem changes to an 'i' in the present tense forms, except for the 'we' (nosotros) and 'you all' (vosotros) forms. This pattern is called a stem change.
