1. Yo forms for –car, -gar,-zar verbs
2. “I –sandwich” = -er or –ir verbs where the stem ends with a vowel (caer, leer, etc.) and the ending starts with an “i” and another vowel (usually and e), the “i” changes to a “y”.
3. –ir stem-changing verbs who do the “third level of change” in 3^rd person singular and plural of the preterite. Examples: Dormir, Pedir.
