- The verb ‘huir’ has a stem change (i → y) in the present tense for 'I', you', 'he', 'she' and 'they'.
Keywords
Preterite - tense used for completed events in the past
1st person plural - form of pronouns and verbs used to refer to 'we'
Common misconception
'Huir' works in exactly the same way as all regular -ir verbs, e.g. 'escribir'.
The verb 'huir' has a spelling change (i → y) in the present tense in the 1st person singular, 2nd person singular, 3rd person singular, and 3rd person plural forms: huyo, huyes, huye, huyen. This makes the vowel pronunciation easier - huyo not huio.
Teacher tip
During feedback for B1 teachers may wish to mention that dominoes is a very popular game in Cuba. Many people play socially and competitively.
