I heard that there are "go" verbs, o to ue, i to ie (I may have these wrong), but I am not sure where to find them or what they are. Could someone tell me all the changes in a verb?

I mean, what are all the verb types that make a change in the present form? Like "go" and o to ue?

Well, there are:

e to ie changing verbs:

tener - tiene, tienes, etc.

venir - viene, vienes, etc.

o to ue changing verbs:

dormir - duermo, duerme, etc.

morir - muero, muere, etc.

e to i changing verbs:

pedir - pide, pides, etc.

repetir - repito, repite, etc.

Reference- simple present tense

In addition to what Tosh has provided you it might be useful to review our simple present tense indicative section in the reference pages that lists a number of different ways verb can be irregular to include varying spelling changes, varying stem changes, and changes that do not follow simple patterns, so that you can understand other changes, such as (in the first person simple present indicative, after the infinitive):

Caber- quepo

Oler- huelo

Saber- sé

Haber- he

Ir- voy

Look in the bottom half of the article for a fuller description of such irregularities

I've never heard of "go" verbs.

"Go" verbs all have "go" in the first person singular of the present tense:

Tener - tengo

Venir - vengo

Traer - traigo

Caer - caigo

Are these the verbs you mean? - my teacher called them the Go-Go verbs.

Hacer / to do, to make (er > go) hago = I make

Poner / to put, to place (er > go) pongo = I put

Salir / to go out, to leave (ir > go) salgo = I leave

Caer / to fall (er > igo) caigo = I fall

Traer / to bring (er > igo) traigo = I bring

Decir / to say, to tell (ecir > igo) digo = I say

Oír / to hear (r > go) oigo = I hear

Tener / to have (er > go) tengo = I have

Venir / to come (ir > go) vengo = I come

Hi, SING!

I don't understand your question. There are transitive and intransitive verbs, but I've never heard of "go" verbs.

Verbs change depending on person, tense, and mood (I hope I said that right, meaning, indicative, subjunctive). If you would like to see the general rules for verb conjugation, check out the videos on this site for an explanation.

Lesson 1.4 and 1.5

I can't get the links to work now, but I hope that helps.
