I really need help figuring these two things out.

Question

It'd be nice if you could kind help me through it so I can understand it.

Escribe la forma correcta del verbo: yo/conducir

Escribe la forma correcta del verbo: yo/conocer

Answer 1

The instructions are merely telling you to conjugate the verb infinitive correctly for the subject pronoun that they list.

In other words, they want the yo conjugated form for the verb conducir.

Ibid: they want the yo form of conocer.

I assume that they want the present tense of the indicative mood since they mention no others tenses or moods.

To find the correct answer either look up the verb in the dictionary or look under the verb conjugation tab.

Answer 2

Both of these verbs are usually considered to be "irregular." So, with that in mind, I suggest you use the sites conjugation tool and find the proper conjugations for "yo."

There is a reasoning for it, for example I think for these two it is about the c making it seem strange in the first person tense. However the strangeness disappears in other areas so for some other forms they still conform to regular rules. But I don't have my books at hand to give you a more detailed reason why.

And in case you are a very fresh Spanish student these are the regular rules I spoke of:

For conocer. Lesson 1.4 This will teach you how to conjugate er verbs in the present tense.

For conducir Lesson 1.5 This will teach you how to conjugate ir and ar verbs in the present tense.
