Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'ver' use 'vea' instead of 'viva' like other -er/-ir verbs in the subjunctive?
The verb 'ver' is slightly irregular in the present subjunctive. While many verbs switch their vowel (like 'escribir' becoming 'escriba'), 'ver' uses the stem 've-' for all its subjunctive forms (vea, veas, vean), making it easier to remember once you know the pattern.
