-meter & -mitir verbs... Help, please...

Question

It seems to me that there are many verbs in Spanish that are formed with these endings, and these confuse me.

Can anyone suggest a list ?

Gracias por ayudarme

Answer 1

• meter, acometer, arremeter, cometer, comprometer, prometer, someter
• admitir, emitir, omitir, permitir, remitir, transmitir, trasmitir

Answer 2

Almost all (if not all) have the same vowel before the ending as in the ending. I use this to often decide if it is an "er" or "ir" ending. For example. comEtEr, tansmItIr.

I hope this helps

They follow the usual "er" and "ir" verb endings except for some irregular ones. These can usually be found in any good Spanish text such as Panorama, which is available from Amazon.com - Daniela2041, Jun 18, 2015
