Verbos con cambio ortográfico c>zc (presente subjuntivo)

Stem-changing Spanish c>zc verbs in the present subjunctive

In Spanish some verbs ending in -cer/-cir undergo a stem change in the present subjunctive, in a very similar way they do in the present indicative. They will switch the -c for -zc. The difference is that while in the present indicative only the yo form is affected by this stem change, in the present subjunctive all forms keep the stem change.
