Most verbs in Spanish follow regular patterns, according to their infinitive ending, -ar, -er or -ir. Some verbs, however, change more radically and have to be learnt separately. They are known as irregular verbs.
Unfortunately, some irregular verbs are also the most commonly used, such as ser, ir, tener and salir.
They do have some similarities, though, and the most unexpected endings often only occurs with yo:
Some end in -oy:
* ser: soy I am
Soy de Asturias. I am from Asturias.
* ir: voy I go
Voy al cine. I go to the movies.
* estar: estoy I am
Estoy soltera. I am single.
Others end in -go:
* salir: salgo I go out
Salgo con amigos. I go out with friends.
* tener: tengo I have
Tengo una reunión. I have a meeting.
