Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'salir' change its stem to 'salg-' in some forms like 'salgas'?
This is a common irregularity in Spanish verbs, often called a 'g' insertion. It happens in the present tense 'yo' form (salgo) and then carries over to all the present subjunctive forms (salgas, salga, etc.). Just remember: whenever you need the subjunctive of 'salir,' you need that 'g'!
