Stem-changing Spanish e>i verbs in the present subjunctive
In Spanish, verbs that undergo an e>i stem change in the present indicative will have the same irregularity in the present subjunctive, however, while in the present indicative not all forms change (nosotros and vosotros do not change), in the present subjunctive all forms have this vowel change.
