The 'Nosotros' Exception
Even though 'entender' changes E to IE (like entiendo), the 'nosotros' (we) and 'vosotros' (you all, informal) forms are regular and keep the E: entendemos.
Stem Change Error
Mistake: “Entiendemos”
Correction: Entendemos. The stem change (E to IE) only happens when the stress falls on the root of the word, which it doesn't in the 'nosotros' form.
