It is a stem changing verb. They are regular for nosotros and vosotros but otherwise the middle bit changes. This will affect conjugations for other tenses as they tend to use first person or third person plural as the root.
Here is an explanation and lesson. Groups of similar verbs follow the pattern so you will soon recognise them
