Lesson 1
In the present indicative the verbs that end with –CER and –CIR change -C for -ZC in the first person singular. The rest of the persons are conjugated like regular verbs.
| Agradecer (to thank) | Below are some more verbs with this conjugation. |
| Yo argradezco | Conocer (to know) |
| Tú agradeces | Pertenecer (to belong) |
| El agradece | Traducir (to translate) |
| Ella agradece | Reducir (to reduce) |
| Usted agradece | Etc. |
| Nosotros agradecemos | |
| Vosotros agradecéis | |
| Ellos agraceden | |
| Ellas agradecen | |
| Ustedes agradecen |
Note: When there is a consonant after the letter -C in these verbs, the change is just the -C into a -Z.
Vencer (to overcome) – yo venzo
Ejercer (exercise) – yo ejerzo
Convencer (to convince) – yo convenzo
Surcir (to repair) – yo surzo
Etc.
