The Irregular "Yo" Form

"Hago" is the "I" form of the verb "hacer" (to do/make). Notice the 'g' that pops up only in this form in the present tense. This 'g' often carries over to other special forms, like "haga".

Don't Worry About "Do" vs. "Make"

Mistake:Trying to find two different Spanish verbs for the English 'do' and 'make'.

Correction: In Spanish, 'hacer' covers both! Use 'hago' for 'I do my homework' ('hago la tarea') and 'I make a cake' ('hago un pastel'). It's simpler than English here!
