Frequently Asked Questions
Is it 'convierten' or 'conberten'?
It is always spelled with a 'v'. Even though 'b' and 'v' sound very similar in Spanish, this verb comes from the Latin 'vertere', which uses a 'v'.
Why does the 'e' change to 'ie'?
This is called a stem-change. In many Spanish verbs, when the middle of the word is stressed during pronunciation, the vowel changes to make it easier to say or to follow historical sound patterns.
