Answer 1

"Go" verb is a term used to describe verbs that are conjugated irregularly in the first person singular present. There's a discussion about them Here.

The so-called G-verbs (sometimes "go-verbs" or "yo-go" verbs) add a medial -g- (-ig- when the root ends in a vowel) in the first person singular, present tense, as well as in all persons of the present subjunctive. Many of these verbs are also irregular in other ways.

Answer 2

Some of these verbs are "decir- digo" salir- salgo" "hacer - hago', "venir" - vengo', "tener -tengo.' "poner - pongo."

Some of these verbs are regular after the "yo" form but others have stem changes besides.

Answer 3

These verbs are irregular, ending with "go" in the first person singular of the present tense.
