Vowel-Alternating Verbs

Most linguists do not classify vowel alternating verbs as "irregular". I believe thet should be in a separate article. 161.24.19.82 12:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Patterns in irregularities

If I am not mistaken (and my grasp of Spanish is not complete), most irregularities are based on patterns, e.g. just as "buscar" becomes "busque", other "-car" verbs become "-que" verbs. The same can be applied to "-car", "-gar", etc. You've also got those patterns among stem-changing verbs. It would be far more informative to outline the patterns among irregular verbs along with the common irregulars that don't seem to follow a pattern. There aren't really that many irregular verbs (among those commonly used, anyway) that don't follow one of these patterns or one like them. Fearwig 00:31, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
