Describe flights and travel by plane.
The idea
Volar changes stressed o to ue: vuelo, vuelas, vuela and vuelan. Volamos and voláis retain o.
| Persona | Presente |
|---|---|
| yo | vuelo |
| tú | vuelas |
| él / ella / usted | vuela |
| nosotros / nosotras | volamos |
| vosotros / vosotras | voláis |
| ellos / ellas / ustedes | vuelan |
Examples
